Cloisonné Enameling
Cloisonné is a metal work technique that makes use of fine silver or gold wires that are bent into shapes to create small cells. The cells make up the design of the art work. The cells are filled with small particles of colored glass. The glass is added in layers to create depth of color and shading. Learn more here.
