Come and spend your day trying out the beautiful art of enameling with local enamel artist Heather Croft. Whether you have previous experience or if this is your first time, all are welcome.

Work with recycled copper and vitreous enamel (ground glass) and watch the magic unfold when fired in the kiln. You will be shown how to use decals, scrafitto techniques, glass stringers and or millie fiore, silver leaf and silver foil, lustres and stencils to create your own unique pieces. So many techniques to choose from!

You will make at least 5 pieces over the course of the day. These can be panels of 3″ x 3″, earrings, a ring bowl, pendants or a keyring.

Please note there is a £25 material charge payable on the day.

Everything you make can be taken away on the day.

What to expect

Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.

We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.

The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.

We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!

What you’ll need to bring with you

Please come with an apron if you have one, tied back hair and no open toed shoes due to working with kilns.
