I am an enamelist…

Recently, I had the privilege of studying with Merry-Lee Rae in Watsonville, CA. She is a master enamelist and I am excited to be off and running with fine enameling work. While there, we came up with a new way of identifying ourselves – “Hi. My name is _________ and I am an enamelist”. As a ceramic artist who is a friend of mine said “All those tiny grains. Why would anybody do that?” What can I say – I am happiest immersed in the world of detail – the smaller the better! I am looking forward to combining enamel work with fine silver textures – I am working hard to get my designs from paper to metal.

Look for me at the SNAG Conference in Philadelphia next week, Bead & Button June 2-7, and the Metal Clay World Conference in July.
