Jennifer Wells, from Arrowmont, taught champlevey enameling to boot camp this week. In this process, metal is etched with a design and the recessed areas are filled in with enamel, ground up glass that adds color to work. Here are some process shots.

 |
| This is the metal with the image transfered onto it and other areas filled in with other forms of resist (paint pens, duct tape) so that the acid only eats away the negative areas. |
