This challenge follows on from the April Conference when we watched masterclasses by:

Mer Almagro painting on enamel; Barbara Minor using inlaid seed beads; Sandra McEwen fusing fine silver to create a champlevé base; Bea Stoertz doing lampwork on copper and Marcelo Bessi experimenting with oxidation, over-firing and tempering. So, who inspired us most and which techniques would we most like to use? Here are our pieces:
