Enameling Classes

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be teaching an enameling class and a torch fire enamling workshop starting in January!

The workshop I'll be teaching is at Harold Studio, which is a wonderful studio in Phoenix! I'll be covering basic sifting, sgrafitto, and stenciling with multiple colors, all with using only a torch to fire the enamel! To sign up or to get additional information, click here.

Beginning in January I will also be teaching an enameling class which will include metal preparation, cleaning enamels, sifting, sgraffito, stoning, wet packing, uses of silver/gold foil, combining transparent and opaque enamels, and more! This class will be at Phoenix Center for the Arts. Additional information can be found here under metals and jewelry. Spread the word!

New sculptural piece

Here's a new piece that I finished a few weeks ago, and have finally had the chance to photograph. The enamel pieces are rings that are detachable from the main piece. The camera lens gives a warped view of enamelwork and pierced metal layering on the inside (which I couldn't get a good image of).

Student Work

Below is the work that my students have been doing in my Beginning Metals class at ASU. Check it out!

15 Hour Review

I passed my 15 Hour Review!!!

Midway through grad school, every grad student in the art college has to present their work to a comittee, and they decide whether or not your work shows potential and you can move on in the program. It's been a very stressful couple of months, but all the work was worth it because I passed my 15 Hour Review! I'm so happy and relieved! Now I can relax for a couple of days, then back to work to start working toward my thesis show! It's all very exciting!

Here are images of some of the work I presented today in my review:
