Cloisonne Enamel Workshops
I have been teaching workshops in cloisonne and champleve
enamelling for more than 20 years.
|
I have conducted classes in most states of Australia
and have also taught workshops for members of the US Enamelist Society
and for the German Enamel Guild. In 1990 I was invited to participate
in an international enamel symposium in the Soviet Union. I have also
given addresses at international enamelling conferences in the United
States and Britain.

For the past ten years I have conducted 2 week residential workshops
as part of the McGregor Summer Schools programme at the University of
Southern Queensland, Toowoomba. I have also taught workshops for Enmore College of Design and Technology in Sydney, Queensland College of Art Brisbane, Coffs Harbour Lapidary Club, Roma Jewellers Group, and The Silver Studio in Sydney.
Participants in my workshops receive tuition in all stages of cloisonne
enamelling on fine silver, including designing with line and colour,
preparation of metal, preparation and wet-laying of the enamel, and
firing and finishing techniques. The workshops are suited to both the
beginner and experienced enameller.
