How to Enamel on Copper - Jewellery Pendant Tutorial
Tutor: Em James, Emelye James Creative Studio
Join craft workshop tutor Em James from Emelye James Creative Studio in Cardiff as she walks you through the basics of using enamel to make your own unique jewellery.
Em will show you how to apply enamel and counter enamel to copper blanks, and how to add colour and patterns with stencils and millefiori. You’ll also see the magic of firing enamel using a kiln or torch, as the powder melts and fuses to the metal to create a smooth, glass-like finish.
