This video is part of my series with @pmcsupplies to learn enameling with their Tabletop Kiln. I am not an expert, but rather a beginner! The coolest part of this is once I got the kiln it’s so easy to use, affordable and it takes us very little space in my studio! This month I’m continuing to experiment and learn the basics. Prepping your surface is a super important step you can prepare copper for the very first firing by using sandpaper, a green scrub pad, or pumice powder. In the video I quickly used a radial bristle wheel. These are awesome! Once you have fired and fire scale has formed on one side you can pickle your piece if your enamel is acid resistant, you can also use the previously mentioned techniques. If you are layering on opaque enamel anyhow it doesn’t matter if you’ve left a satin finish on your work. Then you are ready to apply your base color for whatever fabulous enameling project you are creating. This kiln works for casting, precious metal clay and enameling! It’s maximum temperature is 2200°F. Comment with the word “tabletop kiln” and I will not only DM you the link but I’ll also send you our exclusive promo code! Let me know in the comments if there are any tutorials you want to see or if you have questions about this kiln.
