Product Description
Review
"the Handbook for Enamelling should be a welcome Christmas present for any person interested in the art of enamel." Association for Contemporary Jewellery (December 2006) "Enamelling is an extremely practical and user-friendly book, packed with useful information, advice and easy to follow step-by-step instructions." Thompson Enamel Inc (8th December 2006) "Ruth Ball writes as beautifully as she enamels. Each chapter is short, concise, and filled with insightful information not always included in books of this genre. I found it to be more informative in relation to peripheral materials than most." Enamelling Guild South Newsletter (January 2007)
Product Description
Enamelling - the fusion of glass on metal - provides opportunities for amazing effects, colours and styles of jewellery. In this book, Ruth Ball outlines each of the main enamel techniques in step-by-step detail and gives an insight into the variety of modern methods available for exploration. Contents include: the fundamental preparations, enamel characteristics and types; designing, constructing, firing and finishing enamel; cloissone; engraving and etching; painted enamel; and various additional techniques, methods and effects. The gallery showcases work from over 30 international contemporary enamellists, and there is also a 'troubleshooting' section to help readers identify, remedy and repair any problems they may encounter along the way. This is an extremely practical, accessible and user-freindly handbook, packed with useful information, advice and clearly illustrated, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions.

This is an excellent book for the beginner to intermediate and advanced. It not only gives sound advice and technique but includes wonderful images and inspirational ideas. Ruth Ball is obviously a lady of some talent.

It's a good book with fantastic fotos and good ideas, but i think sould have a step by step more specific.
Format:Paperback
I am a begginer at enamelling. I find this book very useful to look up info and to get inspiration. I bought it because it was recommended by a tallented experienced enameller with whom I had a one day intro course and it is a lot better than the other books I had bought previously. It covers so much of the techniques and has some beutiful examples. I can find something new each time I look at it.
Listmania!
