Enameling for All Levels

It’s hard to believe we are already talking about summer classes. I have a new one starting up on June 26th and running for 4 weeks, at the Lillstreet Art Center, 4401 N Ravenswood, Chicago. It will run from 6:30-9:30 pm, and you are welcome no matter what your experience level is for enameling or metal smithing. I cover different topics related to enameling, and try to present what’s important to you. It’s a lot of fun, so I hope you treat yourself to some fun evenings. The picture below shows my son’s work of earrings for his wife that depicts their two cats. You might enjoy painting your kitty or something you love on enamel.

Enamel Classes at Lillstreet

New Spring classes are beginning at Lillstreet in a couple weeks. After my popular Instagram Stories about using stencils when enameling, there was a dramatic response, showing me there is a deep interest in enameling, and leading to almost filling the two classes I am teaching, starting May 9th. There is First Time Enameling on Monday evenings, 6:30-9:30 and All Levels Enameling on Monday afternoons from 2:00-5:00. Hurry up to sign up, and stay tuned to Lillstreet’s website https://lillstreet.com for the early summer classes, which will include All Levels Enameling on Wednesday evenings, in June and July, and some fun workshops on chain mail and Kumihimo bracelets in July.

Lillstreet All Levels Enamels

It’s been great teaching at Lillstreet in the past year both online and in person. One of my favorite classes is The All Levels Enamels class. In order to keep the classes at Lillstreet small during COVID times, the enamels studio only has 6 students! This is great for personal attention. Lillstreet has a ton of COVID precautions in place, making a perfect time for learning in a safe and secure environment. The students in the enamel classes have been amazing, many of them just beginning, but creating wonderful artistic pieces. Here are some examples of their work. Please visit the Lillstreet website website frequently for new enamels classes.
