The Carpenter Enamel Center in Bellevue is hosting an open house and bourbon raffle this weekend. Â
Join the enamel center’s efforts to expand workshop programs that preserve the art of enameling—a process that fuses glass powder onto metal to create jewelry and art.Â
The event will be held Nov. 9 from noon to 5 p.m. at 645 Colfax Ave., in Bellevue. It includes an open house with guided tours, live enamel demonstrations, a bourbon raffle, shopping opportunities, refreshments, and door prizes.
The museum is home to one of the largest collections of enameled jewelry and artwork in the U.S. Right next door; you’ll find Thompson Enamel, the country’s second-oldest art glass manufacturer, in operation since 1890 and the only jewelry enamel manufacturer in the Americas.Â
