The Magic of Torch Fired Glass on Metal
Enamel fused onto copper turns this humble material into an amazing range of color and texture. From shimmering golds to brilliant blues and a multitude of earthy tones with subtle variation, enamel is an incredibly versatile material. Fusing the enamel with a torch creates a spontaneous and direct approach to the process. This Master Class will introduce students to a broad range of enamel applications and firing strategies, opening the door for further explorations in the Hopkins Center Jewelry Studio and beyond.

There’s solid and there’s liquid.  And then there’s the zone between the two, where metal fractures and crumbles, and where discoveries are made. During this one hour demonstration we’ll look at soldering, fusing and welding and the hot, semi-molten manipulation of metal to create form and surface.
