The Joan Bazzel Workshop

This page is about process….meaning techniques, inspirations, tools, materials and whatever ignites and materializes the spark.

Cloisonne enameling is “teejus”, as they say here in the mountains, so I decided not to speed up this video covering my materials bench and one firing sequence. The musical accompaniment is a Mike Bazzel original with vocals by our son, ZAK.

“SPIN”

A slide show about the creation of “SPIN”

Cancelled

Finally! A proper frame for my Little Devil….the button placement is 6″x6″….the wooden frame is 8″x8″x1 5/8″H, and 3″H with the buttons and brooch. All the buttons are true color plastics, and all are attached by wire….no glue! The brooch is an original sgraffito enamel, 22mmx30mm, and it’s set in a sterling pin pendant combination….easily removeable from the hook made for that purpose.
