    In this class, a piece of sheet silver will be pierced and sawed,
    then enameled "in air" (no backing) with transparent or translucent
    enamels. The end result is one, which resembles intricate and
    beautiful miniature stained glass. Sound easy? Once you learn some
    of the "secrets", it will be! The class will construct a
    predetermined design and/or create their own design, depending on
    time available and skill of participants. This class is structured so
    that there will be no soldering, just lots of sawing and enameling.
    The class will include learning basic enameling skills such as
    sifting, washing, grinding, firing, and polishing. No previous
    experience is necessary, but a steady hand and good eyesight
    (magnification is great!) will ensure success.
