I make jewelry with tiny enamel-on-copper paintings. Long, long ago and pretty far away, I was an architect, working on buildings in big cities (New York, Baltimore and Seattle). I actually did a lot of construction management. Then computers got graphical interfaces and I fell in love. Drawing illustrations on a Mac+ with a brick for a mouse. It was a beginning in digital arts. Trying to figure out how to make a living, I spent several years in Information Architecture, teaching computer science and design at the university.
I discovered enameling on metal while doing a 9 week work-study program at John C Campbell Folk School. What sould be better? Fabulous studio space in teh mountains with great people and incredible meals 3x a day. I came home to my painting studio, no kiln, but a fair amount of space. I taught myself to torch enamel without burning the house down. I took a metalworks basics class at the local community center. Then covid hit. Back to the internet.

Hello Serena,

Hello Serena,
I just returned from a one week class at John C Campbell folk school in cloisonne enameling. I thought I would do better having a small art background, but this proved to be more challenging than I expected. I loved the class very much and want to see about pursuing this. But like you returned home with no kiln. I was wondering if I could communicate with you about doing some one on one increased classes or training?
If you are not inclined to do this, is there any other suggestions that you would have?
