FAQ
Gift certificates, books, tools, enamels, kiln furniture, copper and fine silver in any form and, of course, your enameled pieces. For those of you donating enameled pieces, your work does not have to be set, in fact, some of you find great joy in the creative process of setting enamels.
Search your studio for unused tools and supplies that may be just the treasure for a fellow enamelist!
