Enamels

Recently, I saw an article on ICE Enamels. ( http://jewelrymaking.about.com/b/2014/05/12/iced-enamels.htm).  It is a product who can add color and texture to jewelry.  It is what the article says.  As anything new, it is kind of shiny.  It seems to be interesting.  What I like less is it is used with the ICE Resin.  The ICE Resin is used as a protective coating on the ICE Enamel.  It cool me a bit.  I like when a new product is self-sufficient all in itself.  The positive side is the colors.  I am interested in the turquoise and the red.  They would be great on one project, together, side by side.  It seems not too hard to use, as a product.  What I don't like about that kind of article, they makes it easy and there isn't much deeper details.

What I would really like is to do enamel, plain and simple.  A few years ago, I knew someone who like doing it.  She also gave class on it.  So, I sign up for the class.  Unfortunately, it was cancelled.  Not enough students had sign up for it.  I took it as a missed opportunity because the class was not offered again.  I wanted to know more about this technique.  I think what got me interested in enamel is Fabergé eggs.  In addition, the colors in enamel seems so vibrant and colorful.  It add to my curiosity.  I don't know if there is a class offered elsewhere.  I should check but I wonder if there will be enough interest to get the class running up.  I felt a bit burned the first time.  If I get into another class, I want to make sure it will be up until class time.
