Create a Necklace Pendant together!
San Diego Craft Collective welcomes Ashley Lohr, a special guest artist and educator from Southeast Alaska this month!
In this workshop, students will be introduced to the art of powder enamel and learn the skills to create a gorgeous necklace pendant — matching or unique to the individual.
This is the perfect workshop for a child and adult who love exploring new creative crafts together!
Note that the price is per person making a project, so please add to your order as many as will participate in making their own project.
Learn how to prep, sift enamel, clean fire scale, and fire with a handheld butane torch (torch will only be handled by adults).
Pairs of adult & child will have their own enameling station/will not be sharing materials.
Choose from a variety of copper metal shapes to enamel on.
Work with 11 Thompson powder enamel colors to choose your palette.
Use stencils and sgraffito tools to layer in your own unique designs.
All jewelry created will be ready to wear at the end of the workshop.
Students will be using lead-free Thompson enamel on copper metal. Enamel is a glassy compound applied to and bonded by heat (fusion) to a metal surface. Masks and safety goggles will be provided.
This workshop is for beginners and for those who’d like a refresher.
This class is appropriate for ages 8+ years and older with an adult who will handle all use of the blow torch.
All materials to create one necklace pendant per person are included.
