Enameling Glass on Copper @ Artisans Asylum

About this event Instructor - Barbara Marder Barbara has been enameling since 1980 and has been a member of the International Enamelist Society since 1987. She is a retired visual arts educator from the Somerville Public Schools, has an MFA from Boston University, a BA from Skidmore College, and has studied with masters of enameling. Barbara supervised a student-created enameled mural at the John F Kennedy School in Somerville and has exhibited her work at many venues. Class Description In a combination of two enthralling materials, learn to fuse glass to copper in this fast-paced one-day workshop! Vitreous enamel is a type of glass used for centuries to create brilliant luminescent artworks. In just a few hours, students will create a jewelry piece or miniature painting using enameling techniques like wet packing, sgraffito, and stencils. Work will be kiln-fired. Material Fee The materials fee for this class is $15. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts payments in cash or through Venmo or Paypal. Class Goals  Participants will get tool-trained in the enameling shop to work there independently. They will learn to use the enameling kilns and equipment. Safety and studio maintenance will be emphasized. Participants will gain familiarity with basic enameling skills and will have a completed, wearable piece of enameled jewelry or a small piece of art. Information about enameling on silver or steel will be provided. Material Supplied All project materials will be provided except for a safety mask (REQUIRED for enamel dust).  Students Should Bring Participants must bring a safety mask (COVID mask okay) and an apron or old shirt Prerequisites  Students must be 16 years old or older. Any student under 18 years of age must be accompanied by and under the direct supervision of a responsible adult.
