Synopsis

Reworked from the ground up since the first edition (published in 2002), this updated guide reflects the breadth of contemporary enamelling, from fusing glass to metal under high temperatures to exploring what can be achieved on a wide range of enamel-friendly metals. Chapters and projects have been reviewed and refreshed, with a reorganised layout, additional experience incorporated, and around half of the projects changed.

Across 21 project lessons, it covers established methods including champlevé, cloisonné and plique-à-jour alongside newer approaches such as using graphite pencil and enamelling on steel. Each project is supported by a gallery of work by other artists using the same technique, and an extensive troubleshooting chapter is included for practical problem-solving.
