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 cloisonne, champleve, painted enamel and plique-a-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.

Reviews

the Handbook for Enamelling should be a welcome Christmas present for any person interested in the art of enamel. * Association for Contemporary Jewellery (December 2006) * Enamelling is an extremely practical and user-friendly book, packed with useful information, advice and easy to follow step-by-step instructions. * Thompson Enamel Inc (8th December 2006) * Ruth Ball writes as beautifully as she enamels. Each chapter is short, concise, and filled with insightful information not always included in books of this genre. I found it to be more informative in relation to peripheral materials than most. * Enamelling Guild South Newsletter (January 2007) *
