Description
Learn to Enamel in the comfort of your own home at completely your own pace. Detailed clear demo videos show you the processes step by step so you can pause, skip or re-watch to your hearts content. The kit provided ensures that you'll not only have everything you need for the course but to be able to carry on afterwards too. I can be also make myself available via email and WhatsApp to answer questions if needed. If you're creative, you'll love this technique. You will have the chance to prepare the copper shapes, use a variety of powders and glass to create beautiful designs, fire your enamel and turn it into jewellery! Work with traditional enamel materials and techniques and get creative with reclaimed glass. You will finish the course with a variety of enamelled pieces and the skills to continue creating afterwards. This series of exercises is the equivalent of a full day course including making time and will enable you to feel confident enough in the process to keep enamelling afterwards. Please allow 7 - 10 days for delivery of your kit. Once the kit is on the way you will receive a link to your tutorials.
What's included in the price?

What you will need
A clean and clear work area big enough to spread out a number of materials and tools. A space that’s safe to use a small blow torch (similar to what you might use in the kitchen to make crème brûlée!). A device with a large enough screen to view the demos and the ability to play sound.
Duration
6 hours (flexible times to suit)
Maker
Where it all began … I first learnt to crochet as a child and spent hours and hours making, sewing, knitting and learning every new technique possible in art, craft and design. After a degree in Graphics and with 16 years experience teaching Textiles, Graphics, Art & Design and Design & Technology I strongly believe in developing my own practice to be the best tutor I can be. I am continually inspired by my students of all ages so it's definitely a 2 way street!

FAQs
All your materials, endless tea and coffee and camping accommodation for 'One to One' bookings (this may also be available for other bookings subject to availability - please enquire).
I only take individual bookings so there will only be the people you choose to book for! This means I can make sure the workshop is exactly what individuals and groups want and everyone gets more out of it.
I normally start at 0930hrs but as I only take individual bookings I can be flexible with timings (subject to availability) to suit you.
No need to bring anything with you for your course or workshop unless you want to bring examples or inspiration ... but there are plenty of both here in the studio (surrounded by the beautiful Shropshire Hills) so you can just bring your lovely self!
There is a cute retro caravan that sleeps 1-2 people available onsite (The Old School Campsite) free of charge for 'one to one' bookings (subject to availability). There are also glamping bell tents in the summer and camping pitches available onsite. If camping isn't for you (!) there are lovely holiday cottages at 'Shelve Holidays' or a luxury cabin at 'Heather and Stone'.
