- Identify when enamel has reached the correct firing stage.
- Design a suitable pattern for using fine cloisonné wires to fill with coloured enamels
- Apply the wires to your flux enamelled piece and fire in place
- Add wet coloured enamels into the cells to create your design
- Fire the enamel colours in several layers until the cells are at the desired height
- Sand down the excess wires and enamel
- Fire to create a smooth finish
- Demonstrate safe handling of enamel materials, kiln equipment and fired pieces.
- Clean the work area and equipment safely after the session
