Learn to make luminous backless enamels that look like tiny stained glass windows. Invented in Byzantine times and most famously practiced by Rene Lalique, the plique-a-jour technique is rarely taught today. In this class, we will learn the fundamentals of plique-a-jour on a pre-made piece, including how to create a false backing for the enamel, how to apply the enamel, and how to polish and finish the piece, as well as principles of design for this unusual and beautiful technique.
