Vitreous enamel is high quality glass that has been ground into a powder form and colored with mineral and metallic oxides. The enamel is fused to a metal surface by firing it in a kiln at an average temperature of 1500F. In my work I fuse the enamel to fine silver or 24k gold. Typically, a piece is fired as few as 6 or as many as 70 times, each firing with a new application of enamel. In this manner, the permanent richness and depth of color unique to the art of enameling is acquired.
