Photo Transfer: Image transfer on Enamels

Gayane Avetisyan

This workshop introduces participants to photo transfer techniques on enamelled copper surfaces. Using laser-printed images and alternative transfer methods, students will learn how to embed photographic imagery into vitreous enamel. The process explores how images interact with enamel through firing, resulting in soft, atmospheric tones permanently fused to the metal. Participants will experiment with surface preparation, image placement, and multiple firings, gaining an understanding of how heat, material, and form shape the final outcome.
