2017 Enamel on Argentium Workshop Info
Here is a PDF handout for you to download. Please print the Argentium Workshop Handouts PDF and bring it along to our workshop. See download link below. The "all lump colors" pdf is a color chart of colors i try to keep in stock for sale to students. I don't always have all of them.
I've also thrown in some links to some videos. The cloisonne one is long but will give you a good understanding of blending and layering transparent colors, which we will be doing in class.

Mortar & Pestle Info: the links are for a mortar which is 75 mm across. Mine is 100 mm across. The prices on this slightly smaller one are much more reasonable. i've been told that the links to these lead to a business which only sells to businesses. You can google these to find other sources. Look for Coorstek octagonal Alumina Oxide Mortar and Pestle.

If you think you are going to want to purchase a JoolTool at the workshop please email me so I can have it in stock. Prices are 10% off for students. I use the Ricky Frank Enamel Kit and add on a few extra diamond abrasives to make the progression very easy to achieve a great finish.
