Enameling 101
Enameling is the art of fusing glass onto a metal surface. I use a Kiln for this and heat each piece to 1530 degrees Fahrenheit.
My Favorite Enameling Techniques

Painting
Handpainted enamel is fired up to 20 times. This piece is sugar fired meaning it is left with a slight texture.

The process of printing imagery on special paper that can be transferred to enamel. The image is then fired in the kiln for permance. painting and drawing techniques can be added before or after decals.
