The Enamel Channel

Many teachers show you the "How-to" techniques
(This is important, but it may not be enough)

In my Creative Enamel classes, I show you how...

 I've learned, practiced, and improved my Technical Skills.
I explain and demonstrate the Science and how I apply it in my work.

I ask myself questions about
Design,
Creativity,
and Self-Expression
as I learn to create my artwork

I've learned to Let Go of
Rules,
Self-doubt,
and Fear
so that I can feel FREE
with my technique

Creative Enamel classes help you build the skills to use the Techniques, understand the Science, Design exciting images, Create innovative artwork , Express Yourself, and perhaps most importantly, Let Go so that you can rediscover your childlike curiosity and feel a sense of Freedom with enamel.

"your teaching method was transformative for me as both an enamel technician and an artist"

Candie's Story

What is "Creative Enameling"?

I taught myself to become a more creative and expressive enamel artist.
You can too!

Instead of

• searching for the "right way", students discover "many possible ways".
•  trying to find the "right answer", students search for "more questions".
• copying the teacher, students learn to design experiments to answer their own questions
• "learning to enamel", students use enameling
  as a "way to learn about themselves, their world, and their art".
  

What makes these classes special?
Here is what you get...

Ricky's Teaching Approach

Class Structure

• hours of prerecorded video tutorials
  
• weekly Zoom classes: Q & A, discussions, inspiration, critique
• recorded zoom class for when you can't make it or just want some privacy
• group forum (not facebook): Q & A, share your results, inspiration, weekly challenges
• all content is available when the class opens
• all content is available for 3 to 6 months, depending on the class
• continue to learn with Ricky after the class ends with a low cost membership
  

Fun & Excitement
