For over ten years, Linda Darty has been a leader in the field of contemporary enameling. Her own enamel/metal work has been included in highly regarded publications such as American Craft and Metalsmith around the world.
Enameling is the very ancient and exacting process of applying melted glass to the surface of metal objects. This book by metal artist and teacher Darty provides an extensive introduction to enameling fundamentals with practice exercises for techniques such as cloisonn? and champlev?. There are also a dozen jewelry projects by other artists. This is an excellent and beautifully illustrated summary of a difficult craft. Recommended for academic and public libraries.
