I got home really late and there was nothing in the fridge...
The enamelling course was fun - we learnt how to grind and wash enamels, and to use them wet. The result is smoother, and you have more control over where the colour goes. Much much better than sifting!
We also used foil under transparent enamel - I loved that. We were there for the whole day and I only have three pieces to show for it... But I am quite proud of them. I can definitely see myself getting into enamelling in a big way.
Eventually...
