Enameling

Year Published: 1968

Complete Record: An introduction to the process of enameling on copper shows the step-by-step procedures form initial preparation of the copper to finishing, demonstrating various dry-charge techniques for applying the frits. Examples illustrate the flaws which result from applying too thin a layer of frit, failing to counter enamel, removing the piece from the kiln too soon, and firing the object before the base is dry. Shows many finished pieces and encourages the student to explore the design possibilities of the medium. (Rediscovery: An Art Media Series)
