Enamelling info?

I would quite like to get into enamelling, therefore can anyone recommend a good source of information (book/website/etc.) with a basic introduction to the process and techniques?

Linda Darty - The Art of Enamelling is a great book as a intro to enamelling

I'd second that. I've got loads of enamelling books but Linda Darty's has everything you need to know.

Ta muchley.

Now just to obtain the book, absorb the contents, buy the equipment, learn the techniques and start producing pretty enamelled things. (looks easy on paper).

Lots of work but beautiful results.

The best book I have on enameling is

The Art of ENAMELING by Margarete Seeler

It covers Everything including Cloisonne, Champleve, Plique a Jour, How do do basic enameling and is practical and authoratative.

ISBN 0442281641

But it is long out of print and popular when a copy surfaces, try Alibris.com or abebooks.com for used copies.

For more basic enameling try ENAMELLING by Denise Palmer

ISBN 1859676189

Bizzarely - Amazon.co.uk had them listed as

2 new from £131.65 6 used from £12.50

I think a used one would suffice!

For websites try

merryleerae.com

I would post a link, but I can't as a Newbie, prefix it with
h t t p : / / w w w . (without the spaces) to mend it

Merry-Lee Rae does astonishing work - mainly cloisonne - but well worth a look - search the site for the very informative technical section - I think that's where I found out about the Seeler book.

Cheers
