A private, one-to-one jewellery-making session held in my Cornwall studio, dedicated to the traditional craft of torch-fired enamelling on metal.

Guided personally by jewellery designer Tamara Gervasio, this experience is designed around a pre-cut brass form, allowing you to focus entirely on colour, surface, and enamel application rather than fabrication.

This is a focused, hands-on workshop where you will apply vitreous enamel to metal using a gas torch firing technique, creating a finished charm or small jewellery piece.

This is a creative surface and finishing session, not a design or metal fabrication course.

Important Information

This session is designed for pre-prepared brass forms and focuses on enamelling and torch firing techniques only.

Finished pieces can typically be taken home on the day once cooling is complete.

What You Will Do

You will work directly on a pre-prepared brass charm shape, exploring the application of enamel and controlled torch firing to build colour, texture, and surface variation.

You will complete your piece through guided making, learning how enamel reacts to heat and how colour develops during the firing process.

Your finished piece will be a unique enamelled charm created by your own hand.

Workshop Details

A focused 3-hour private session, allowing sufficient time to prepare, apply enamel layers, fire multiple stages using a gas torch, and complete at least one finished enamelled charm, with potential for a second simple piece depending on drying and firing cycles.

Any additional time beyond the session may be added on the day if required and agreed.

Studio Information / Safety

This session involves the use of a gas torch and high-temperature enamelling processes.

For your comfort and safety, please:

thoughtful gift experiences for craft and design enthusiasts

Studio Approach

"This session is designed to explore colour, heat, and surface through direct making, allowing you to understand how controlled torch firing transforms powdered enamel into permanent colour on metal."
