Enamelling on Precious Metals by Jeanne Werge-Hartley
Enamels have fascinated the world for centuries and have been enjoying a resurgence since the 1960s. This book looks at how such stunning effects are achieved from the inspiration of design through the intricacies of the process to the skills of firing. Topics covered include an introduction of the enamels and the precious metals used for enamelling; the details and alternative approaches to champleve, cloisonne, plique a jour and other techniques; and the work of leading enamellers, including Jane Short and Fred Rich is introduced. Advice on working safely, and technical information about enamel colours and their firing temperatures is also covered.
Jeanne Werge-Hartley has been actively involved with jewellery and enamelling for many years. She has her own personal workshop, and works to both public and private commission. She is a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and Founder Member of the British Society of Enamellers.
