Plique-a-Jour Enameling Technique, Spring Daffodils (backless, pierce work method)

I am so happy to see surge of information about Plique-a-Jour on the web lately. But some of them mythical, misleading, and some right. When I started teaching this technique in my studio, I received many requests to teach in private studios and online workshops. I could not travel at that time and online teaching was unknown territory for me. But then world as we know ended and Covid era began. I took a dive and learned how to tech online. It was not easy task for me, but I am so happy I took a plunge and now I could share my knowledge and expertise with many of you who could not travel far, who leaved across the globe. Nothing is hold back. Everything I know I will pass to you. Nothing, almost nothing would make me happier then see rejuvenation of this beautiful enameling technique. But please, keep in mind my studio is always open for you and in person private and semi-private workshops could be schedule on demand.
