Product Description
This book beautifully illustrates the wide range of artistic innovation and techniques expressed in vitreous, or hard, enamels on metal. More than 30 experienced enamelists share their specialized knowledge for using cloisonn, plique- -jour, champlev, and basse-taille techniques on silver, gold, foils, and metal clay to make jewelry, vessels, portraits, and more. Works from an additional 55 artists are also displayed in over 350 color photographs. Their words and work will instruct and inspire beginners and encourage the next generation of metal workers to carry enameling to new heights.

5.0 out of 5 stars This author knows enameling inside and out, August 29, 2008
I met Lilyan Bachrach at an Enameling Society conference about 3 years ago, and know that she is one of modern enameling's biggest supporters, as well as being a wonderful enamelist in her own right. I was delighted to add this new book to my personal library and to also put it into the reference library at the Columbus (Ohio) Cultural Arts Center where I teach enameling. One of the things I like best about this book is that it includes many different techniques and showcases the artists who do them. It is evident from my own experience that there is no "correct" way to work, and that is reflected here. This book is meant to encourage young enamelists just starting out, and to add new artistic life into more experienced ones, and it does an excellent job of both. Lilyan has years and years of experience and I appreciate how she has passed on her knowledge this way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great inspiration and reference., June 5, 2009
I am new to enameling and I'm finding this my go-to book. The photos are beautiful and inspiring. Ms. Bachrach has given a great intro to the medium and the contributors have been generous with information about their process.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book for enamellers, November 13, 2007
Interesting book because there are few who talk and show about this art. Interesting for images of contemporary american enamellers. The selections of artists is a little irregular in artistic level. Good reproductions of images.The Art of Enameling: Techniques, Projects, Inspiration
