Liquid Enamel for Dimensional Forms
Tanya Crane
Tuition $1,290
Code S0505-25
Explore the sculptural potential of ultra-thin copper and vibrant liquid enamel in this dynamic workshop led by 2024 United States Artist Fellow, Tanya Crane. Known for her innovative use of traditional jewelry-making techniques such as metalworking and enameling, Tanya shares how these processes can extend beyond jewelry to inspire broader creative applications. The material’s ability to quickly transform into light, dynamic three-dimensional forms makes it ideal for experimenting with the enameling process. After an exploration of sheet manipulation, the instructor will demonstrate how various enamels can be used to create a base coat to build upon or as stand-alone elements that create interesting textures and color combinations.
