Instructor:
Brandy Boyd, author of the Camp MC 106 Enameling Artisan Course and metal clay and metalsmithing instructor at BMB Designs.
Who Can Join:
This class welcomes participants of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced metal clay artists. Brandy will guide you through all clay forming and enameling steps.
Suggested tools to bring:
A small rotary tool can expedite the polishing and enamel cleanup but is not necessary. If you prefer to use one, please bring a face mask and safety glasses or a full face shield to use with the rotary tool. Any sanding/finishing of fired enamel will need to be done wet, so PPE is recommended to avoid the possible spray onto your face/eyes.
