About Our School –

SMALL SCALE CLOISONNÉ

This is wonderful opportunity for students to learn a methodical approach to Cloisonné Enameling developed by Merry-Lee Rae. Over the last 30 years, Merry-Lee has become known for her lyrical wirework and lush shading techniques. Learn to combine Science with Art to create projects of your own while taking the mystery out of this intricate technique. Merry-Lee will share her methods starting with construction of the fine silver base and ending with grinding and finishing using lapidary equipment. Learn to apply perfect basecoats, form fluid wirework, apply it to the base, achieve graceful shading, solve technical problems and grind to a perfect finish. This is your chance to ask Merry-Lee anything you ever wanted to know about her technical expertise in a class limited to 10-12 students where you will receive personalized instruction in a studio setting. You will be able to see, first hand, how she handles the tools and materials while creating amazing results. You will leave this workshop with the experience and inspiration to take this ancient craft and make it your own.

Merry-Lee also offers an Online Classroom Membership, which provides access to a wealth of information and online workshops. Click here to learn more.
