In this class you will learn to a number of enamel sifting skills using opaque enamel. The enamel components will be used in creating earrings with bolts as a cold connection. You can expect to make more than one pair of earrings over the weekend.

Pre-requisite: Knowledge of how to saw, file, and drill sheet metal.

Please note: We won't be soldering in class (well, maybe a little --- you might want a post on your earrings). We will only be using the enamels supplied in your kit in order to prevent introducing lead enamel into the class.

Materials Fee: $25. You will be supplied with an enamel sample kit of 10 colors and containers and a few enamelling tools to keep. The remaining enamel tools and equipment will be available for your use in class.

What to bring to class:

3M #8233 respirator (available in class for purchase)
Apron
Small copper shapes (these will be available in class for purchase)
Notebook and pen
22 gauge sheet metal
18 gauge half hard wire

Please wear closed toe shoes.

You will not need to bring tools to class. As a matter of fact, I am requesting that you not bring tool cases with you so that floor space is clear. Your work station will have all the tools you need for this class.
