Online Workshop. Degraded Enamel and Rusted Details by Amanda Denison

The workshop will explore how to add richness and enhance enamelled pieces with the introduction of rust. We will cover the steels available and how to prepare & apply liquid enamels. We will explore mark making tools and implements and both kiln firing and torch firing techniques. After firing we will look at different ways to degrade the surface prior to rusting. Finally, we will discuss additional forming and texturing techniques and how to incorporate rust with copper.
The instructor will setup a Facebook group exclusively for this workshop.
