Hello

This time I will tell you about the enamelling. I am interested in this artistic technique, because I am learning it now in my central art workshop: goldsmithing

The enamelling is a surface tratment technique through the application of glass powder tonobtain a glaze coverage.

The enamel is an impalpable glass (powder) composed of vitrifiable materials.
There are different kinds of enamels, depending on the material to which you want to apply, but all of it is fixed by heat.

Various ways for glazing are known. It is characterized by different procedure in the operation has been followed. But all methods use heat to melt the glass powder.

The powder melts and expands. Later it cools and hardens, and thus this powder produces a smooth coverage and very durable glaze on ceramic, glass or metal.

The next week I will talk you about the enamelling on metal, specifically enamelling on copper.

Regards.
