    I've only just toyed with enamels, really. First off, I'd say to look
    to enameling.com, which is Schlaiffer's enamels - they've always been
    good to me, and have absolutely everything you need. I just sat down
    and started enameling, and I had many mistakes, but I'm not sure some
    would be avoided in a class, either. Speaking as one who's not too
    far removed from beginner, you might start with a small class, 
anyway.
    Enameling is quite difficult to get fine results. If you want to just
    forge ahead, like I did, it IS just melting glass on metal - I just
    read some books to get the technical parts, and started melting some
    tests. It's being good at it that's the hard part.
