Workshop Date:
Saturday, July 25, 2009

Time: 9:00AM to 4:00PM

Cost:  $75.00 per person, per workshop (includes all materials)

We will start with the basics and have you enameling within 15 minutes.  You will quickly move on to more advanced procedures and selected techniques.  By the end of the workshop, you should have a good idea as to what you wish to accomplish with enamel.

All tools and materials are supplied.  Participants are only expected to bring a brown bag lunch, an open mind, and a pair of eager hands.  There are fast food restaurants close by, if you prefer.

If you plan to arrive the evening before, we recommend Comfort Suites, (859) 291-3800. Tell them you are visiting Thompson Enamel and you will receive a reduced rate (rate code THOMPS) of $89 for a standard room. They are at 420 Riverboat Row, Newport, KY, and only 4 blocks from Thompson.
