W.W. Carpenter Enamel Foundation Third Biennial “Get Together”

Focus on Fire, the torch, in and out of context

First week of August, 2010

W.W. Carpenter Enamel Foundation, Bellevue, KY

We’ve invited three known individuals who teach torch firing as part of their individual reference as enamelers. Each has their own approach and uniqueness. Each will teach three, two-day workshops. You will have an opportunity to do a workshop with all three instructors.
