In-Person Classes

Ricky's Studio Workshops

Due to the stress of some recent health concerns, I've decided to postpone all "in studio" class until Summer 2022 (at the earliest).
If you are interested in joining me and a small group of students in my Marietta, GA studio in the future, please email me and request to be placed on the wait list. Thanks.

Craft Schools/Guilds

I have only scheduled one "travel" workshop in 2022.

Arrowmont School of Art & Craft
Gatlinburg, TN
October 23-29, 2022
This is one of my favorite places. It's like "art camp" for adults! Great studio, great staff, Smoky Mountains, & always great students.

-"Ricky Frank is one of the best instructors I have ever experienced.
First, he is a master at his art, both in design and execution.
In addition, he excels at a talent few artists have...a systematic approach
to teaching the process of enameling that advances both the novice and the expert.
He's always "pushing the edges" of his knowledge and in so doing,
helps us develop our thought process as artists, not just our technical skills.
It's a joy to spend time in his studio and I recommend him highly for students of all levels."

Ricky's Teaching Approach

Join me in my Marietta, GA Studio
My studio workshops have been canceled until further notice due to Covid along with some other personal health concerns.
Email me to check availability or request notification when classes resume.

I teach in my home studio which is located in Marietta, Ga, a suburb north of Atlanta, Ga.
I am about 45 minutes from the Atlanta airport, and there are plenty of hotels and restaurants
within 15 minutes of my studio. I can email you a list of hotels and directions.

Small Class size for personal attention. Up to 6 students per class..
My wife is also an artist, and you will be living and breathing the "colors, layers, and light"
which make up our artistic home.

The 5 Day Studio Workshop

Pricing: $750 includes materials and a daily healthy home-made lunch.
All tools provided and available for purchase during the workshop.

The 5 Day Studio Workshop includes all of the lessons in the 2 Day Workshop and provides more time for new or more in-depth lessons.
In the past these have included:

advanced "enamel layer" techniques
multiple cloisonne´ enamel pieces
creative play with enamel and foil
hand-made and embossed silver foil
enamel design and self-expression
learn to translate visual images into enamel images
flashing fine silver surfaces for maximum reflective ability
fusing Argentium silver
bezel-setting enamels

This workshop is offered to beginning students, intermediate level students, and all returning students
and can be easily adapted to your specific interests.
Some students want to focus on technique while others pursue their artistic enameling goals.
