Event Overview
Join Iris in her studio in the Mission district as she guides you through each of the steps of the kiln-fired enameling process in this completely hands-on workshop to create a custom colorful pair of earrings or necklace.
You select the shape, design and enamel color(s) of your jewelry and then enamel and finish your jewelry. Iris will provide several example designs to give you ideas on what you can make. You’re welcome to make one of her designs or come up with your own using the materials provided. At the end of this workshop, you'll take home an enameled pendant necklace or enameled dangle earrings handmade by you.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
Iris Willow makes modern, colorful handmade enamel jewelry in her studio in the Mission in San Francisco. Iris has always had a creative streak and love for arts and crafts which lead her to study art in college, graduating with a BFA.
Iris was first introduced to the art of enameling while living in Santiago, Chile and taking jewelry classes from a local jeweler. She fell in love with the possibility of adding color to her jewelry. It was exciting to have a rainbow of colors to choose from. She's a mostly self-taught enamelist, learning mainly through experimentation. Iris would love to share her love for the medium with you in her private enameling jewelry workshops.
Iris is an experienced teacher. In addition to teaching jewelry classes, she has experience teaching English as a second language in Thailand, Laos and Chile. Join her for a fun, hands-on class in her studio.
