Cloisonné enameling involves creating a design with silver wires and filling the resulting cells with various colorful, transparent, and opaque enamels. In this class, we'll create a small pendant, so we can go through all the stages of preparation, wire work, washing, applying, and firing the layers of enamel, and grinding the surface smooth for final fire polishing.
