This workshop focuses on ways to achieve images and marks in vitreous enamel. Develop new compositions and designs in your work by learning to make a variety of lines and marks in enamel. Using copper as the substrate the demonstrations include sifting, sgraffito, stencils, ceramic oxides, overglaze/china paints, underglaze pencils and other experimental techniques.
The emphasis in this workshop will be on creating exciting surfaces through exploration of both traditional and non-traditional enameling processes.

Dana Cassara began practicing the art of silversmithing at North Seattle Community College in 1992. She discovered her love for the craft after returning to school to pursue a teaching degree with a focus in social studies. She graduated from the University of Washington in 1998 with a B.A. in Comparative History of Ideas as well as Interdisciplinary Arts, because she just couldn't stay out of the art department. She has been teaching jewelry design since 1999 and loves what she does.
