In November I was able to spend two days at Goldsmith Centre in London. Learning how to add enamel to precious metals using the Cloisonne technique was absorbing and very enjoyable. Iit was fantastic to be able to stretch my technical abilities and learn new skills under the expert guidance of Joan Mackarell. We were shown how to prepare the silver, wash and grind the enamels and use fine silver wire to create our designs. Enamelling is such a complex process and the more that I do, the more I feel there is to explore. I can’t wait to try some new ideas I have in 2020! .
