Find Your
Enamel "Happy Dance"

New students often describe some of the challenges that they face.
Would you like a GUIDE to help you along the way?

"I love the look of enamel but it seems very confusing. There are so many possible techniques, materials, and tools. Where do I begin?

Anne

"The teacher made it look so easy in class. I was able to do it then but now it seems much more difficult"

Brad

" I don't know why I keep getting this result. It used to work before but now something has changed and I'm not getting the same result."

Tammy

"In class, I was able to follow the directions and make a piece that looked like the teacher's. Now I'm in my studio and without "the assignment", I don't even know where to start."

David

"I have enough skills and feel like I ought to be able to make something that I like. But I just feel stuck. What am I missing?

Ellie

"I have an idea in my head but I just can't figure out how to turn it into an enamel. Where do I begin and how do I make what I imagine?"

Video Lessons that develop your
Enamel Skills and build your Creative Muscles
Your unique tutorial approach is more than just about enameling techniques - it is nurturing us to become the best artists we can be, through discipline, asking questions, journaling, letting go of judgement and just accepting our results.

if I ever teach enameling or anything else, I am going to model that on this experience. It is a great blend of online tutorials, interactive learning through the zooms and personal explorations.
Callie W
I do not teach you how to make this piece.

I will help you develop the skills to imagine, design, and create YOUR piece.

You will learn to design exercises to help you explore your questions and improve your skills.
