Enameling tools and materials are essential from "summary" of The Art of Enameling by Linda Darty
To successfully create beautiful enamel pieces, it is crucial to have the right tools and materials at your disposal. Without the proper tools, your enamel work may suffer in quality and execution. This is why investing in high-quality tools and materials is essential for any enamel artist.
One of the most important tools in enameling is a kiln. A kiln is necessary for firing enamel onto metal, as it provides the high temperatures needed for the enamel to fuse properly. Without a kiln, it would be impossible to achieve the vibrant colors and smooth finishes that enameling is known for. Additionally, having the right types of enamel powders, fluxes, and metals is crucial for achieving different effects and finishes in your enamel work.
In addition to kilns and enameling powders, there are a variety of other tools that are essential for enamel work. Tools such as sifters, trivets, brushes, and firing forks all play a role in the enameling process. Each tool has its own specific function and is necessary for achieving different techniques and effects in enamel work.
Furthermore, having a dedicated workspace with proper ventilation and safety equipment is crucial for working with enamel. Enameling involves working with high temperatures and toxic materials, so it is important to take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you. By having the right tools, materials, and workspace, you can create stunning enamel pieces with confidence and ease.
