Unlock the art of cloisonné, adding depth, intricacy, and personality to your designs. In this comprehensive course, you’ll will master the essentials of wire bending and wet packing and also discover a collection of advanced techniques to infuse texture, pattern, and markings into your cloisonné creations. You’ll explore various methods such as texturing the base metal, utilizing textured foils, achieving a seamless color gradient, adding inlayed opaque enamels as accents, experimenting with underglaze and diamond burs for mark making, incorporating foils to create a sense of depth, and much more. Playfulness and experimentation are encouraged as you use these techniques to bring your
unique vision to life in a cloisonné piece. You’ll also explore multiple approaches to finishing the enamel. By the end of the course, you’ll have a finished cloisonné enamel piece that showcases your newfound skills and your creative flair.
