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.
