Creative Enamelling by Sheila Mcdonald

This practical book demystifies the fascinating process of enamelling and encourages you to explore various techniques and to develop your own personal style of work. With clear detailed instruction, it explains the full process of how tiny grains of glass fuse together to form a shiny smooth surface. It goes on to introduce advanced techniques where enamels can be built up in layers, precious metal foils added and wires used to outline intricate designs. This book, written by a leading enameller and teacher, is an encouraging companion for all novices and skilled jewellers interested in learning this astoundingly-beautiful technique.

SHEILA MCDONALD is a freeman of the Goldsmiths’ Company, London. In her enamel pieces, which are predominantly silver, she combines several traditional techniques in a painterly way, mixing transparent enamels with layers of fine gold and silver foil. She works from her studio in Edinburgh.
