An excellent class! I'm a hobbyist silversmith / metalsmith. I enrolled in this class, in order to "broaden my horizons," a bit. It was a fun two-hour class. My first experience with torch-fired enamels was successful, and I came home with a way-cool pendant. The teachers, Bill and Rose, offered the class good guidance, and are friendly, enthusiastic, and patient. Now that I see what can be done with enamels, the creativity gears in my head are spinning. I hope to take this class again -- soon! -
