Virtual Passport Workshop with Kaori Juzu: Unique Expression with Enamel, Colour and Shape

You’ll discover techniques such as sifting dry enamel onto organically shaped copper and mastering the manipulation of the enameled surface, skillfully interrupting fusion to preserve the brilliance and texture of the grains. Together, let’s explore fresh expressions and possibilities through the vibrant palette of enamel colors! This is a beginning level workshop, but the basics in enameling are helpful.

All of our online workshops are recorded and, with purchase of the seat in the class, you have access to the recording(s) between workshop sessions as well as for 45 days after the workshop ends.

When: 26 October 2024. 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
Cost: 195.00 US dollars


Outline for the workshop: 
By using basic goldsmith-techniques, we can learn:

• how to shape a form with copper sheet
• how to combine different copper-elements together

With enameling, we can learn:

• how to shift enamel dry powder on an organic shaped copper-form on both sides
• how to achieve unique expressions with enamel
• how to make different layers of enamel on the copper 

After the workshop, through an individual approach/practice, I hope the students can develop their own research about the colours. We can learn some techniques, but in the end working with enamel is working with colours. That should be developed with time to find own colour scheme or to find own way of exploring oneself through the colours. It simply requires many practices, and most importantly we should be able to enjoy working with colours without any fears.
