Granulation Workshops
Granulation is a method of decorating metal with tiny metallic pieces. Tiny pieces of metal are fused to the surface to form a pattern. In this 3-day workshop, learn the history, background and basics of granulation. Methods of creating granules, glue formula preparation and fusing practices will be covered. Project designs will be discussed. Day one make a pair earrings, day two a pendent and on the optional third day you can choose your own project.
