A practical and comprehensive guide to the breadth of enamel techniques.

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.
