In this course students learn the basics of copper enameling (fusing glass to copper) and explore the potential of enamel decals. We cover basic enameling techniques such as sifting and explore sophisticated decal techniques. Students create their own decals on campus using laser printed images as well as experiment with decals that are commercially available. Lectures on the histories and applications of this technique augment work in the studio. Group and individual discussions address technical issues of this process and troubleshoot how to incorporate these elements into a completed artwork. This course is for all levels of students. No prior metals or enamel experience is necessary.
