500 Enameled Objects: A Celebration of Color on Metal (500 Series) - Softcover

The classic art of enameling is experiencing a well-deserved renaissance&;and it&;s stunningly captured in this lovingly curated survey. More than 300 international contemporary artists have contributed museum-worthy pieces, which range in scale from David C. Freda&;s Green Slipper Brooch and Harlan W. Butt&;s Maine Teapot to large sculptures and public art. Some of the creators take a minimalist approach, using only soft colors and matte finishes, while others exploit the material&;s vibrant palette and glass-like surface. The broad technical applications include everything from simple sifting and torch firing to complex cloisonné and plique-à-jour.
