Enamelling Masterclass with Jessica Turrell

Today we were extremely lucky to welcome world-class jeweller and enamelist  Jessica Turrell into the Small Metals workshop.
She delivered  a masterclass to a group of Jewellery and CAA students that was mind blowing; showing us techniques and processes that have changed the way alot of us perceive enamel and its application.
Jessica is highly trained in traditional techniques but she can also work in a very spontaneous and  non-traditional way using tricks that seem to revolutionize the process. 
I have a feeling enamelling will become more popular within the workshop than ever before...I can't wait!
