Advanced Enamelling - gaining confidence in colour and design in enamelling  to "personalise" your work and weave in your own story. A course for experienced enamellers wishing to develop their own personal style, individual designs and take their use and understanding of colour, pattern and design to a higher level.
Date: Saturday 26th September 2026
Time: 10.00am -5.00pm
Venue: Rainbow Glass Studios N16 0JL
 
Please note: this course is designed for advanced enamellers with significant previous experience. It is not suitable for beginners who have never enamelled before as we will not be covering the basics. You will need to have attended  my introductory courses ( i.e: Enamelling for Beginners and Intermediate Enamelling on Copper Bowls) before enrolling.  Please see other dates listed to attend those courses first if you have never enamelled with me before. Thank you.
 
Learning enamel techniques from other enamellers is only a good starting point, applying them to create your own individual style (and not just copying their pieces) demands a deeper exploratory approach. 
 
" Seeding new ideas"
In this workshop we will be working from an item of personal inspiration via a series of creative and observational exercises each exploring our connection to our object and the stories we associate with it.
 
We will translate our discoveries into our artwork making a series of decorative enamelled samples and progress to enamel a 7.5cm x 7.5cm  copper picture panel mounted on a 15cm x 15cm white-painted MDF square ready to hang on the wall. Your initial samples may also become a second collaged picture to take home. 
 
Eleanor your tutor is keen to steer you away from "just copying" others work and techniques, to having your own starting point, story, or personal inspiration to see what emerges from your initial creative spark.
