Contemporary Enameling
Art & Techniques

Lilyan Bachrach



Enameling techniques are many and varied, and a wide range of personal innovation is possible. The techniques explained in detail in this book are for vitreous enamels, "hard enamels" on metal. More than 30 experienced enamelists share their specialized knowledge for using cloisonne, plique-a-jour, champleve, and basse-taille techniques on silver, gold, foils, and metal clay to make jewelry, vessels, portraits, and more.

Works in contemporary enameling from an additional 55 artists are displayed in the gallery. Over 350 color photographs show the beautiful jewelry and art objects they have made in recent years.
