In this brief video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy provides viewers with some recommendations on how to select, care for and use 80 mesh vitreous enamels.
Prof. Ahr has used enamels in both his artwork and jewelry designs for many years. He has taught numerous students how to use both kilns and torches to fire their enamel projects. Always with an eye toward safety, Ahr's instruction encourages students to think like artists.
This video covers important considerations for successful use of this colorful media such as creating a color pallet and test firing your materials. It's important to know what the enamel will look like on your chosen surface and how it will appear against, underneath, and on top of other colors in your design.
