John C. Campbell Folk School
I had the pleasure of assisting Enamelist artist Dennis Hinds at the John C. Campbell Folk School for his Enameling workshop. Before Dennis asked me to be his assistant, I had never experimented with enameling…WOW!!!! What a great medium!!! In a nut shell, enameling is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 °C (1,382 and 1,562 °F). The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating on metal, or on glass or ceramics. I absolutely fell in love with this medium, because of the instant gratification I recieved once experimenting with different effects. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to assist Dennis and I thank him very much. It gave me the chance to introduce my line of work with concrete art and I’m strongly considering teaching a class that includes different aspects of 3-d sculpture, stamp making, and Lino. print making.
