Adding colour to your work is a great way to brighten it up and make it uniquely yours, and enamel is the perfect medium for doing it with. With cloisonné in traditional enamelling the ‘cells’ of wire are fixed to an enamelled background. With Enamelled Accents you can add your wires wherever you want to make freestanding areas to put colour into. Adding the wires this way is also a great way to decorate work even if you don’t enamel afterwards.
On this workshop you’ll make a silver pendant with a shallow texture first and then learn how to add the wires. After that you will enamel into cells to make your very own ‘joyful’ piece!
YOUR TEACHER: JOY FUNNELL
Joy lives and works in Hastings (UK). She has been working with Artclay Silver since 2005. Within a year, she trained up to Senior Artclay Instructor. In 2009 she became the first person to be made a Craftsman of the Guild of Enamellers. This is exceptional because the traditional view was always, that you cannot enamel on Artclay Silver.
Joy is passionate about colour and texture in her work. During the last years, she has taught at the Artclay World UK conferences in 2009 and 2010 as well as at the Metalclay World Conference in Chicago in 2011.
Her work has been featured in many magazines and publications.
