You will be guided through making a silver cloisonné vitreous enamel pendant using a sterling silver oval shape that has been prepared for your use. You will be helped to create a simple wire design that you will then add layers of enamel too. Each layer will be fired in a kiln for one or two minutes before you add another layer. The colours will be built up over three or four separate firings. You will be able to choose your own colours from a limited selection and you will make a piece that is unique to you.

Price is per person.
