Color from Fire: Enameling on Copper in Göttingen
In the studio of Rita Franze, glass becomes vibrant color and copper turns into a personal canvas. The workshop Enameling on Copper begins on October 17, 2026, offering a focused approach to a traditional craft process where material, fire, and design interact directly.
Glass, Metal, and the Aesthetics of Fire
Enamel is created through the interaction of glass and metal. In this workshop, participants will learn the basic steps and try out different techniques of enameling on copper. The fine enamel powder develops its characteristic color effects under heat and bonds with the metal surface to create a durable, shiny, or textured design.
From Test Piece to Unique Creation
After an initial test piece, the course opens up for personal ideas. Participants can design jewelry or small picture plates, determining the color, shape, and surface themselves. Thus, technical introduction merges with aesthetic experience and individual work observation. Each object emerges as a little unique piece between applied art, jewelry design, and free composition.
Small Group, Intensive Practical Experience
The number of participants is limited to a maximum of four people. This creates a personal working atmosphere with space for concentrated experimentation and individual support from Rita Franze. The workshop is aimed at interested individuals aged twelve and up and is suitable for anyone who wants to not only observe craftsmanship but also experience the creation process with their own hands.
Art Experience in the Studio of Rita Franze
The studio in Göttingen's Wendenstraße serves as both a studio and exhibition space. The intimate environment focuses on material samples, colors, shapes, and craftsmanship precision. Between copper, glass, and fire, cultural education becomes directly experiential: as a sensory encounter with a process that has transcended the boundaries between craftsmanship, design, and applied art for centuries.
Conclusion: Create Your Own Jewelry Piece or Small Picture Plate
The workshop offers an intense art experience for all who want to combine color, material, and fire in a creative process. For those who wish to discover the aesthetic effect of enamel themselves and create a personal work piece, an inspiring afternoon full of craftsmanship concentration and artistic possibilities awaits at the studio of Rita Franze.
