Exploring Colour and Texture in Champlevé Enamelling Techniques by Catherine Large
Published: 12.11.2024
Students will be introduced to some of the fundamentals of the vitreous enamelling process using vitreous enamels on copper and silver sheet.
Workshop Outline
Come to this course ready to experiment! Emphasis will be on kiln fired enamel and students will experiment and develop mark making skills and simple Basse Taille-like techniques (creating low relief patterns using punches and roller printing) through the production of a series of samples. Cloisonné enamel techniques will also be demonstrated. Simple setting methods suitable for enamel will be discussed, as well as other techniques used to incorporate enamel as a highlight into jewellery works. As the course emphasis is on exploration, you may end up with lots of test pieces, rather than a finished item.
Registration
+ $1080 (Standard Registration plus materials) or $540 (Junior Pathway Program* plus materials – restricted to 18 years)
Materials
+ $100 McGregor Workshop Delivery Fee: This is a non-negotiable fee that covers additional materials & tools specific to this workshop. These will be supplied by McGregor at time of workshop. Payable at time of workshop registration.
+ $50 – $150 BYO Material & Tools cost (approximately): Please refer to the online ‘Catherine Large – Materials & Tools List, and Workshop Schedule – McGregor Summer 2025’.
