I did an
enamelling course at the weekend. It was
only for a day so it was just a taster of what it was like but I was pleased
with what I came up with...
Now that they’ve
been fired, the colour combination that I chose reminds me of those Rhubarb and
Custard sweets that I used to like as a kid!
I’ve also been
experimenting with using resin as cold enamel on silver.
(Sterling Silver and Resin)
All in all, I
think cold enamelling suits me better. I
did enjoy the workshop at the weekend but a lot of the time was spent in
preparation – there is a lot of time needed to clean the enamel powder and the
metal – I guess I’m more of an instant gratification kind of girl! Plus, I don’t have to wear a dust mask with
cold enamel – I always feel a bit claustrophobic in those things!
