About the Book:
"The Art of Enameling: Techniques, Projects, Inspiration" by Linda Darty is a comprehensive guide to the ancient craft of enameling, providing both beginners and experienced artisans with valuable insights into this decorative art form. Published by Union Square & Co. in 2004, the book spans 176 pages and is richly illustrated to enhance the learning experience.
Darty, a leader in the field, presents the fundamentals of setting up an enameling studio, covering essential tools, materials, and safety precautions. She delves into various enameling techniques, including traditional methods like cloisonné, champlevé, and plique-à-jour, as well as experimental approaches such as firing enamel onto mesh forms. Each technique is explained with clarity, accompanied by step-by-step instructions and visual aids to guide readers through the processes.
The book features 14 meticulously designed projects that cater to a range of skill levels. Projects include creating a vibrantly toned flower ring and an elegant set of buttons with a delicate leaf pattern, encouraging readers to apply their skills creatively. Darty also explores firing techniques, offering insights into using copper oxide for color variations and raku firing for unique effects.
"The Art of Enameling" has been praised for its logical organization and demystification of the enameling process. It presents more relevant information about glass on metal than has ever been compiled in a single volume, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in this art form.
Overall, Linda Dartys book serves as both an instructional manual and a source of inspiration, inviting readers to explore the rich possibilities of enameling and to develop their own creative expressions within this timeless craft.
