Gus & Maggie Masters Enameling Studio

The Enameling Studio (and the enameling program) is recognized by instructors and students as one of the best and most respected in the United States. This studio was dedicated as the “Masters Enameling Studio” in honor of Gus and Maggie Masters who started the enameling program in the 1970s. Located on the other end of the building from the Clay Studio, this space for enameling and hot glass is a well-supplied, light-filled work space. It’s recently been renovated with new work tables, kilns, counters and sinks. Beadwork classes are offered in this studio as well.
