Engraving and Enamelling: The Art of Champleve

This book explains the rich traditions of the magnificent technique of champlevé, which combines the skills of engraving and enamelling. Champlevé is a technique of enamelling requiring the creation of a cell into which enamel is then applied. Phil Barnes gives a unique insight into all aspects of the process as he explains the techniques of engraving in preparation for enamelling, and then looks at enamels and how to work with them to create a piece, through to the final polishing and finishing.
