Enameling Electroformed Organics
This class shares a technique I have been working on for a while. Once a component is electroformed it can be enameled like any copper shape. The only difference between an electroformed organic component and a stamped or cut copper shape is the detail preserved within the element. I will share the nuances of enameling electroformed leaves, flowers, and shells. Come join me in this exciting new class!
