    Plique-a-jour is the only enameling technique in which the glass
    enamel is not backed by metal. It resembles miniature stained glass
    and is sometimes referred to as "backless cloisonne." In this class,
    various ized wires are shaped and soldered into a filigree framework
    that is then enameled "in air" (no backing) with transparent or
    translucent enamels. 

    Prerequisite: basic soldering and jewelry skills, including sawing
    and filing
