TUESDAY NOVEMBER 24, 6 - 7:30 pm
House of Art and Craft (HAC) is for AMATEURS, by AMATEURS. Capitalism tells us to never learn new, novel things, to only further perfect our useful traits - to be harder, better, more competitive in the “labor market”. HAC believes in using our hands to do things that aren’t optimized for profit, and that doing those awkward NEW things together is the best way.
We present AMATEUR HOUR as both a reference to the saying “what is this, amateur hour?” and to the original French meaning, which is “amare” or “to love”. Come try out a new, oddball craft with us, and if you love it-- you can come back and do it again!
“AMATEUR HOUR” is a very loose introductory session to one of our current offerings. There are light refreshments and the price point is knowingly very low to encourage a low-stakes drop-in style of attendance. Stay the whole time or just watch a little demonstration-- up to you!
This session will focus on ENAMEL ON COPPER, and yes you can give it a try! A demonstration will be provided from 6-6:30.
Small prepared copper pieces will be available for experimentation!
💡 HAC SHOWROOM SWITCH-PLATE LAUNCH
Enamel on copper switch plates
2026 ⭐️
Each switch plate is an original one-off artwork made of reinforced counter-fired copper with enamel glass frit.
〰️$110 + $15 shipping (please allow up to 2 weeks for shipping due to travel)
〰️Standard single toggle switch.
*CUSTOM SWITCH-PLATES are now available. Please email houseofartandcraft.pdx@gmail.com with your preferences of colors, motifs, and desired qualities, and we will interpret and create custom switch-plates for you.
Delve more deeply into the technical processes of enameling on copper with us in a private group enameling lesson. Each enameling experience will be approximately 3 hours, and materials and equipment included. Materials include copper, opaque and transparent glass, specialty glass — “jewels", millefiori (means a thousand flowers) and threads of glass.
These group lessons best accommodate groups of 8 people maximum.
Snacks and refreshments provided.
Learn to apply glass frit to a copper substrate (followed by a quick trip into a HOT kiln). Enamel is an ancient art that fuses glass to metal ( in this case copper). The process begins with cutting the copper using tin snips, sprinkling colored glass upon it, and putting it in the kiln for less than a minute. Almost INSTANT satisfaction! BEHOLD the magic of glass.
