What if you had to use a MAP to find your way?

I share a MAP, not a FORMULA


Maps help you figure out where you are and where you want to go.

Maps show you some possible adventures between starting and finishing.

There is not "One Right Destination".
There are many possible destinations.
and many possible Paths.

Develop your skills, and create your own enamel MAP.

Self-Directed or Teacher-Directed?
Our Classes emphasize an Experiential Approach
Experiential Learning (Self)
  • I learn from my Results
  • I learn from my experiences (good or bad)
  • I see different Results with my own eyes
  • I internalize the process and can remember what I did
  • I imagine possible ways to "do it"
  • I ask "What if" questions and do it just to see
  • I do One Thing to discover possible answers to my questions
Informational Learning
(Teacher)
  • I just want the Facts
  • The teacher shows me what to do
  • I believe what others tell me is the Right Answer
  • I try to remember and recall the Right Way
  • I try to do it the Right Way & be Perfect
  • I ask "Will it work?"
  • I can feel stuck when I don't know the Right Answer

You don't need to be perfect!
Lessons encourage you to confront your fears and just do something to get started. Each result is a learning experience.


You don't need to do it the Right Way!

You don't need the Right Answer!

You can Start anywhere!

You don't always need to Like what you make!

You don't need to be Perfect!

You can break the Rules

You can ignore your Critical Voice!

When you PRACTICE, you do not always make something that you like.
But you learn something that will help you make something that you like.

YOU create your own "Personal Tutorials"
to help you explore different types of questions.

My videos challenge you to ask MORE QUESTIONS, not just memorize the "right way" or the "right answer".
Some students tell me that I'm teaching them to "LEARN HOW TO LEARN".

A child learns to ride a bicycle through trial and error. There is no "right way" to balance oneself, turn the handlebars, and pedal at the same time. Through failure, success, and repetition, each childs learns "their way" and it becomes muscle-memory.

Find your Enamel Voice and Express your Enamel Vision"
Beyond Techniques:
Find your Enamel Voice and Express your Enamel Vision

Techniques are great, but are best used in the service of an IDEA!
Our classes help you embrace your "inner enamel artist" as you consider your ideas and how you can translate them into enamel images.amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim

Build your confidence
Each time that you
FIGURE SOMETHING OUT
you build your Confidence.

No matter how skilled you are or how much you know, you will always be trying to figure it out.

My job is to help learn to figure it out on your own.

Enamel Channel videos help you become comfortable answering the "how-to" questions and the BIG questions like...

  • What do I like or want?
  • What is "enough"?
  • What does it "depend on"?
