Copper Enameling Class

The Jewelery and Lapidary Club will offer a new class on copper enameling on Wednesday, May 15, from 1-3:15 p.m. The class will last for six weeks and cost $25 per person.

The class is limited to four students, allowing participants to take advantage of individual instruction. The class is taught by LaVerne Christenson, who has 25 years of experience as a jewelry artist and many years of teaching jewelery-making methods. In this class, students will learn the various techniques of applying glass powders to copper pieces to make their own designs. Techniques that will be covered are: proper preparation of the copper, applying layers of glass powders using stenciling, sgraffito, wet inlay, use of glass beads and mille fiore beads and much more.

The sign-up sheet for this class is in the Jewelry and Lapidary workshop located in Clubhouse 4. People are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible.
