Cloisonné enamel techniques

Cloisonné is a decorative art technique used to create colorful designs on metal objects, typically using copper, bronze, or gold. It involves soldering thin metal wire or strips onto a metal surface to create separate compartments, or "cloisons," for enamel. After the compartments are formed, colored enamel powder is applied and then fired in a kiln, solidifying it into vibrant, glossy surfaces. This technique is often seen in jewelry, pottery, and decorative items, blending craftsmanship with artistic expression, and is valued for its intricate detailing and rich colors.
