Crackle Enamel Jewelry Class

Discover crackle torch enameling and create stunning copper jewelry in this fun Alameda class!



3 hours Location Alameda Class size 1 to 4 (public classes), 3 to 6   $100

Dive on into a world of color, sparkle, and fire as you discover the magic of torch enameling in this crackle effects jewelry making class in Alameda! You’ll learn how to make jewelry that shimmers with personality as you fuse powdered glass to copper using a butane torch. It’s a mesmerizing process that feels a little like science, a little like art, and totally like fun.
In this hands-on jewelry design class, you’ll explore the beauty of “crackle enamel” -- a special kind of enamel that melts at a different temperature to reveal the vivid layers beneath. Think of it as creating your own wearable masterpiece, one radiant color at a time. Over the course of three hours, you’ll craft unique pieces such as earrings, a penny bracelet, a pendant, or whatever your creative heart desires.
Whether you’re searching for things to do in Alameda, cool bachelorette party ideas, or just a relaxing way to spend the afternoon near Oakland, this workshop delivers good vibes and great craftsmanship. You’ll leave with a few new skills, a deeper appreciation for handmade jewelry, and your very own art you can proudly wear -- or gift to someone special. No stress, just sparkle!

Janet Kornegay has been a maker and teacher her entire life. Growing up in a family where creating art and DIY projects was the norm, she developed a lifelong passion for hands-on making. Trained as a scientist, Janet has taught science at every level -- from elementary school to graduate programs -- starting when she was still in high school. She recently retired after 25 years in biotech.
Janet is the founder of Make Happy Art Studio and has been teaching jewelry making and mixed media workshops since 2015. Her classes cover torch-fired enameling, fused fine silver, wire and beaded jewelry, and mixed metal assemblage using cold connections. She has also led mixed media workshops, including altered tins (pocket ofrendas) and gelli printing.
There’s no craft Janet isn’t excited to try, and she continually seeks new techniques and media to bring into her classes.
