Support Enameling

The Gus and Maggie Masters Enameling Studio allows students to experience the magic of fused glass and metal art from leading instructors in their craft. Recognized as one of the most respected enameling programs in the county, this studio engages with those new to the craft as well as individuals with extensive experience in enameling, providing a newly renovated space to explore endless possibilities of this unique art form.

With your support, the Folk School can ensure that our enameling program continues to thrive.

Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated; donations of $1,000 or more can be restricted to studio facilities and equipment needs, which are determined annually by staff.

Kay Patterson

Kay learned engraving and jewelry making from her husband, Tom, whose family owned a retail jewelry store with a full-service shop offering repairs, fabrication, and engraving. She joined Tom teaching metal classes at the Folk School in 2003 and has continued to serve as an assistant and instructor in many classes. Kay teaches enamel, combined with forging and engraving metal, and her own work focuses on using recycled metals. She has also worked as a hand engraver and silversmith for the past 20 years. Kay currently divides her time among metals, enamel, and fiber, mostly making things to wear.
