All That Glitters: Using Patterned/Embossed/Burnt Gold Foil in Enamel

In this workshop, students will learn a cost-effective way to  incorporate gold into enamel projects by capturing gold foil under and  over glass. Jan will demonstrate three specific techniques using a  single sheet of Japanese gold foil.  Many samples will be shown, along  with finished projects.

Jan’s goal is to provide students with a better understanding of  the ways in which gold foil can be manipulated to create exciting,  high-impact textures and patterns (While silver foil can be used, the  results will not be as crisp, because of the difference in the foil’s  thickness.)
