Renowned master enamelist Nikoloz Gamkhitashvili of Lithuania will lead a five-day intensive enameling workshop at the School of Horology from Monday to Friday, May 5 to 9. Enameling is an art allied with watchmaking and clockmaking, with some of the finest cases being exquisitely decorated. The workshop is sponsored by RGM Watch Co. of Mount Joy, Pa. This will be the first enameling class held at the school and will be geared for the beginner and experienced enamelist alike. Participants will learn how to apply wet enamel on metal using three different techniques. Other topics include the use of a kiln, hand tools, and polishing equipment as well as safety tips. All materials and equipment will be provided by the school. Once you have mastered the art of enameling, you can start your own business or improve your existing skills by making original jewelry, said Nikoloz. As part of the nonprofit National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc. (NAWCC), the School of Horology offers hands-on workshops to stimulate interest in and preserve knowledge of horological crafts. Across the street from the school is the NAWCCs National Watch & Clock Museum, home to more than 13,000 artifacts that showcase the history, science, and art of timekeeping. Classes are open to NAWCC members and the public, with courses ranging from beginner to advanced levels. Additional workshops will be offered throughout 2025: Watchmaker Master Class, Foundational Repair Skills 1, Introduction to Gilding on Clock Tablets, Introduction to Antique Clocks, and Using a Micro-Mill for the Beginner. The School of Horology is located at 454 Poplar St., Columbia, Pa., and preregistration is required for all workshops. For further information, visit www.nawcc.org/education or call 717-684-8261.
