Advanced class in enamelling

The Makers Guild in Wales is delighted to welcome Melting Point artist Silke Trekel to Wales and to provide this opportunity for a sharing of specialist knowledge and skills in the art of enamelling.
Enamelling is a fascinating technique that makes it possible to set colorful accents in jewellery while at the same time acting as a design tool. In its free, experimental application, the industrial enamel offers a variety of possibilities to work in a painterly plane as well as a linear, drawing way. Essential features of the ornament such as rhythm, sequence and symmetry break down and revive the surfaces and will therefore also be a focal point of the workshop.
