Présentation de l'éditeur

With this lavish introduction to the centuries-old art of enameling, even beginners can effortlessly create imaginative designs.

The various styles range from traditional cloisonné, champlevé and plique-à-jour to experimental techniques such as firing enamel onto mesh forms. Even more creative possibilities await in the firing: use copper oxide to create cool colour variations or try raku firing for unique effects.
