Enameling
Class Projects

These
photos are of the items made in
this summer’s
enameling classes. Enameling is the art of fusing glass to
metal. These lovely items were made by applying a very fine glass
powder to either copper or fine silver and then firing the pieces in a
kiln.
Two
sessions of enameling were
offered this summer, and the following students participated: Lloyd
Ernestes, Gladys Escalona, Kim Fox, Phyllis George, David Hawkins and Joel
Washington. The class was taught by Patty Scott with the assistance of Tom Wright.
The top photo is an assortment of small
panels, nut dishes, and jewelry pieces showcasing the artistry of Joel
Washington, Kim Fox, Dave Hawkins, Phyllis George, Tom
Wright, and Gladys Escalona. The bottom photo is a closer
view of some of the jewelry pieces created during the cloisonné
class. They are ready to be set as pendants or brooches.
