The amount of work that goes into some of these old pieces is just astounding. They're so very beautiful.

The enameller, Phil Barnes, is worth looking into. Inspirational Artisans has an in-depth article on him and his legacy.

Extraordinary skill and beauty. It was really good also to see a practical demonstration by a modern enameller to show how it was done.

I cannot wait to try this, I've got a kiln, multiple types of colored glass, just need a little copper :-) Very excited.

Good luck! Firing maybe the toughest part, the video says 1000°C which is only 100°C less than copper's melting point.

there are individual enamelists and schools in the US and other countries that teach enameling techniques, worth taking a class or few if possible.

The guess that the medieval source of colored glass being Roman mosaic answers a question I had about medieval enamel color choices. They always seemed bordering on Roman to my eyes (especially the lapis lazuli blue). I have seen a lot of blue glass pieces in medieval art and wondered about them.

I believe it's because artisans were quite needed especially to those who can afford their services. That's why a lot of impressive stuff like this here in the video are seen more that has been done in the past

I've seen this video showing the fine work by enameller Phil Barnes before some years past, but appears that the V&A has added some descriptive text to the video, well done and thanks.

Hi V&A This was a fantastic video. Would you consider doing a video explaining how artisans managed to do the complex cutting and carving used on ladies hand fans? How did the bone and mother of pearl get cut and formed considering no machines? Thanks for the consideration.
@rsmith63662 жыл бұрын
It's the same process, but by hand. I suggest looking up videos on Korean mother of pearl inlay. They still do a lot by hand.
@jmay60642 жыл бұрын
Curious if we know why not gild it before adding enamel? That would keep the enamel clean from the copper oxides, right?
@TheMCCraftingTable2 жыл бұрын
The gilding will be rubbed off during the polishing process. Furthermore the gold will still oxidize, jewellers use borax when melting gold for this reason.
@stinew3582 жыл бұрын
The gold would melt before the glass ever did

That's what maids are for. Hours and hours of polishing.

this is obviously very beautiful either way but tbh i liked it better before they texturized it
