Enamelling Experience at our Blended Monkey Studios - March 2026

Our fabulous guest tutor, Kate Janssens, taught another fantastic enamelling experience today!

Our small but perfectly formed group of enamelling students made lots of beautiful pendants, necklaces and earrings.

Everyone got to either design their own unique pieces or create something using the huge variety of templates provided. The shapes were cut out from a sheet of copper using a vice and saw. The pieces were then decorated using finely powdered glass - and other media such as frit, millefiori beads & glass strands - that was sifted over the copper. The work was fired individually in tiny kilns to the correct temperature so as to melt and fuse. The effects are beautiful and sometimes unexpected; but under Kate's guidance everyone has produced work to be proud of.

The students were also able to experiment with crackle glazes which create wonderful effects allowing the enamel sheet below to show through the crackles.

We provided refreshments throughout (tasty brownies & homemade shortbread) and also a lovely lunch, with another lovely selection of bakes from Fanoggins Bakery - including some naughty choc-chip cookies and "no sausage" rolls, fresh from the oven.

Kate is with us next year for three more enamelling experiences this year:

REVIEWS

"I attended a thoroughly enjoyable and informative day last Sunday in enamelling. Our tutor Kate skilfully guided us through every stage; we were supplied with tasty treats and refreshments throughout the day. I made several pairs of ear rings and a pendant. I would definitely recommend the experience.”
