Make a 1-1/2 inch circle pendant using the ‘stencil’ technique. We have a variety of plastic stencils that enamel can be sifted through to create colors and patterns. Achieving a crisp or sharp edge of the stenciled pattern will be shown. An innovative method of removing the stencil from the work piece makes stencil removal easier.
