Description
A practical and comprehensive guide to the breadth of enamel techniques.
Enamelling, the fusion of glass on metal, is a fascinating process and a happy marriage of two distinct materials. The varied range of methods in which enamel can be applied to metal provides opportunities for amazing effects and styles, thus enabling a great wealth of diversity and appeal.
In this book, Ruth Ball teaches you the main enamel techniques in step-by-step detail whilst giving you an insight into the variety of modern methods available for exploration. Learn about cloisonné, champlevé, painted enamel and plique-à-jour, discover helpful guides to enamel characteristics and get inspired by examples of work from over 30 international contemporary enamellists with beautiful jewellery, bowls, vessels and various objects and sculptures.
