SUMMARY:Intro to Enamels
DESCRIPTION:Dates & Time: Thursday\, September 8th from 4 PM to 8 PM \nINTRODUCTION TO ENAMELS CLASS will be taught by Jeanean Slamen on Thursday\, September 8th from 4 PM to 8 PM in the Center Classroom & Jewelry Studio. Join us to learn foundation enameling skills using a butane torch. This four hour class will explore both opaque and transparent lead-free enamels on copper forms using safe and efficient processes. \nCompleting this class will give you the skills to take more specialized enameling classes coming this Fall and work on your own at home or in the HGMS studio. For safety\, students must bring a close-fitting mask (not a pleated-style mask) to wear while sifting the enamel powders. \nCost: HGMS members $57; Non-Members $72. Cost includes a $12.00 Material Fee. \nThere is a minimum of two students and a maximum of five students per class session. Students must complete registration 48 hours prior to the class meeting so that materials and tool kits can be assembled. \nJeanean may provide additional enameling classes: Exciting Enameling Surfaces\, Foils & Wire in Enamels\, Drawing & Painting on Enamel Surfaces\, Textured Metal for Enameling\, Raku & Crackle Enamel\, Making Settings for Your Enamels \n  \nJeanean Slamen took an undergraduate metalsmithing class eight years ago while working toward a fine arts degree in painting. Since graduating she’s been a jewelry maker who occasionally paints.

SUMMARY:Small Torches for Jewelry Making Class
DESCRIPTION:Dates & Time: Friday\, September 16th from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM \nSMALL TORCHES FOR JEWELRY MAKING (STJM-091622-JS) will be taught by Jeanean Slamen on Friday\, September 16th from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This hands-on class will benefit aspiring jewelry makers who are “torch-curious”\, or hesitant about operating a torch. Affordable and portable butane “micro torches” come in a variety of sizes and capabilities. You’ll test test-drive several types of micro-torches in a safe environment while trying out annealing\, fusing\, melting and soldering fine silver and sterling silver. The instructor will discuss torch safety\, demonstrate torch techniques\, and discuss how to set up a soldering station at home. All materials are included in the class price. \nCost: HGMS Members $55.00; Non-Members $70.00 \nMinimum 2-students; Maximum 4-students \nNOTE: Registration for this class closes 48 hours prior to the start of class so that material kits can be prepared. \nJeanean Slamen fell in love with an undergraduate metalsmithing class eight years ago while working on a fine arts degree in painting. Since graduating\, she has been focused\non many areas of lapidary and metalsmithing. Jeanean intends to offer other jewelry making classes building on the skills taught in this class.
