I dunno about you, but I gained enormous self-confidence and became irresistible to women once I stepped out of nature and took a form that Grecian goldsmiths make from hammered gold and gold enamelling.

Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come.

I hadn't taken a good look at it lately, but the rings in my chainmail collar have pretty much all lost their black enamelling :/

Now he had a perfectly formed bowl precisely cut with drills, saws, needle files and likely abrasive stones. That wasn't his job (I'm guessing) but then he started to enamel.
This will take many, many posts, but I will persevere.
Next up, before enamelling, a bit of history on enamel.
Tomorrow.

That is green enamelling on the wings. It is painstaking to apply. Outstanding workmanship.

He died aged 65 when I was 7. In retirement after a teaching career, he took up silversmithing & enamelling. I met him once & still cherish the enamelled pendant he gave me. My sole memory of him is the singular beauty of his hands as he fastened its silver chain round my neck.4/

Having just moved back to Canada from Italy, this is one of several retro-looking brands. From 1948, SMEG's an acronym that stands for "Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla" OR "Emilian Guastalla Metallurgical Enamelling Works".

That is a rather nifty bit of kit.
I wish I still had my workshop. Well, workshops in fact as I had 3 - wood, engineering and goldsmithing/enamelling.

look, I like puns.
have you heard the one about the Polish explorer? the person who introduced enamelling to Europe, unfortunately most of the records about them have varnished.

Ever been confused about the difference between printing and enamelling?

I always wanted to have a go at enamelling. I tried at school but passive aggressive, sly bullies loosened all the gas torch connections and I ended up erupting in a ball of flames. The art teacher blamed me and I never got to finish the piece.
Funny how seeing these brought it back.

Still have some little fishy earrings around. Flame enameled copper. Find them in the LotsaCopper Etsy shop.

I was a librarian on a local newspaper in 1980s. Frequent topics included ‘turning your hobby into a business’ eg enamelling wellingtons, along with building matchstick models of local churches.

This intricate vase was created by Namikawa Yasuyuki, perhaps the most celebrated enameller of the Meiji period (1868-1912).

Thank you. They're not silver clay. I made the original leaves in two layers and soldered them together and then had them cast in britannia silver for enamelling. All the rest of the work is soldered using enamelling solder and hard solder so it is safe to go in the kiln.

The 19th-century factory produced cast iron furniture and fireplaces, not just by casting iron but also by making ceramics, tabletops, and enamelling for decoration. Understanding how these factories operated, including their power sources and steam engines, is of historical interest.

The making of a baked bean pendant in silver. From a commission several years ago, when I was actively making jewellery. From starting with a solid silver cylinder, through filing to shape, enamelling and the final pendant.

Oddly I have done a fair bit of work with cold enamel (ie powder resin), and some torch-fired enamel like this flag pin, but I’ve had my kiln for a year now and it even has an enamelling door (so you can side enamel pieces in/out without opening the kiln) but haven’t used it for enamel yet.
