Making of Cloisonne

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

My dream is to open a specialty art supply shop that carries a lot of these materials as well as stain glass, raw jewelers materials, clays, the various pigments and chemicals... and then in my free time I want to teach myself all these art forms, every step, through trial and error because I will have all the materials at my disposal. That's the dream. Such a beautiful art form. I want to try my hand at is so badly.

[@davezad]

Why does it have to be a dream? You could always start out by taking a ceramics class. Learn to throw on the potter's wheel. Then you can begin to create your own objects very similar to the ones in this video. You could decorate them with underglazes, paintings in underglaze, traditional glazes, or experiment with textures, stencils, gold lustre & leaf, even carve your designs into the form. One person can learn all the steps necessary to do pottery wheras cloisonne would be impossible to know every step on your own. But you'd be able to find a pottery studio teaching classes today, most likely. The barrier for entry is not as steep. You don't need to wait for your own store to get started. It's actually a good idea to test out your dreams because you need to know for sure if crafting is enjoyable like you hope it will be. When it is there's no other career you should be doing, and that's important to find out also. If you're still young, don't wait around until you're middle aged to discover you have an aptitude for art and should have started decades ago. Go for it now with no regrets.

I love that idea - I do stained glass and weaving I’m in Olympia Washington- I like your idea.

[@AndreaNowak777]

So beautiful!! Just stunning. I love how intricate the designs are and the variety of colors is magnificent!!!

[@davidsandy5917]

I remember visiting the factory in the mid 1990s. The work they produced was incredibly detailed and beautiful.

[@orion8835]

I think so very highly of cloisonné. It gives me pleasure to own pieces. The many processes to create this micro art is compelling. Sometime I see a piece and feel emotional knowing how magnificent the result is and how much labor went into it. Fascinating and moving.

[@worldcapers]

Absolutely fascinating! In the AST I did some simple cloissone enamelling in a small home kiln so really appreciate the very fine work of these amazing crafts people. We don't appreciate these artworks enough in the West. Even a simple modern piece must take a great deal of skilled work. Enamels are in fact ground powdered glass suspended in liquid which fuses to the copper at very high temperatures in the kiln.

[@johnallright6847]

Wow have owned a few minor pieces but never knew what dedication went into the making.

[@gloriahanes5338]

I have a Ming Dynasty piece which stands about 12" tall with predominately blue with bits of white, red, and yellow enamel. The piece was so old the bottom was missing so I glued a thick piece of circular brass to make a base. I had no idea the amount of time, energy, and skill which went into making these pieces. The strange dragon like figures have such big pupils and elongated bodies circling the entire rim.

[@madnessends2477]

Extraordinary skill. I don’t think I could do it. Amazing dedication

[@CaseyDCreations]

It brought back memories of learning to make enamel jewelry when I was an early teenager. No where close to this of course - this was absolutely fascinating. Never the less the memories came forth. Thank you.

[@nunyabiznes4471]

What an astounding amount of work to make these beautiful works of art. Amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@lundilar]

It ‘s so nice to have these artists get the recognition they deserve for the remarkable work they do. I see the incredibly beautiful baroque and gothic cathedrals in Europe, and we have NO idea who did that mind-boggling pain-staking detailed artistry.

[@sasasasa-lx6cl]

You will be amazed how much people who are not lazy to do a bit of research know about "anonymous" craftsmen There is a lot of information on cathedral builders and decorators with names, pay rates and even portraits.

[@pennycandyys]

Yes, there actually is a lot of info online, I'm always so surprised at people who have a world of information at their fingertips but do not use it. Or maybe that person does use it, but just didn't this time. @@sasasasa-lx6cl you could have easily made that comment without dissing lundilar and encouraging crappy behaviour online.

[@SwaggMessiah69]

We have countless information on the creators of the baroque and gothic cathedrals all over the world. Most cases we still have the documentation used to build the structures and various documents that have already been made digital for preservation. I have even recreated 3D models of such destroyed structures myself for university purposes.

[@Dakiniwoman]

I am 76 years old and have loved Cloisonne since I first saw it when I was a small child here on Vancouver Island. It was wonderful to see this art is being made again.

[@chrismalcomson7640]

These jobs are for people who have certain characteristics. Obsessive, perfectionist etc etc. If it was me, I'd learn every process and make my own designs. These people doing the same job for 40 years? You'll undoubtably be the best at what you do through repetition if nothing else.. And, there's a certain Zen quality about it..

[@ExtremeObservations]

right, no wonder young people don't want to do it. It's not evolving at all.

[@jadenephrite]

Regarding 11:55, the traditional adhesive used to glue cloisonné wires to their base plate is made from Gum Tragacanth.

[@MiauxCatterie]

and that's just to keep it in place long enough to be properly soldered?

[@jadenephrite]

Gum Tragacanth is an adhesive applied to temporarily hold the cloisonne wires in place. It is not necessary to solder the wires to the base, because the colorless base enamel fixes the wires to the metal base when the enamel melts in the high heat of enameling kiln. Margarete Seeler wrote her excellent book called "The Art of Enameling".

[@RKie-hv6ci]

Simply amazing!

[@RandoPassingBy]

My brain is extremely triggered from the different pacing of the subtitles with the actual audio since my brain’s automatically understanding both

[@argusfleibeit1165]

I can see how that would be annoying. Many times even if you can turn the subtitles off, then we can't understand another dialect of English. So we turn them back on, and the timing is bad. Or you can tell they didn't understand something and put the wrong word, making no sense. It's a mixed blessing, but maybe better than not having them.

[@classicalroach]

Why do all the workers seem like they are reciting a script

[@excellinkus]

She pronounces cloisonné "Close-on-yay." It's pronounced "Cloy-son-ay" by most people in Western countries.

[@pennycandyys]

it'a French word, I think, but lots of people who don't speak French do not know how to pronounce French words...

[@jdfromparis6230]

@@pennycandyys Yes, it comes from the word cloison which means a separation wall, the kind that you can get rid of and don't support the weight of the house. In Chinese that kind of wall is called 隔壁 gebi (隔 ge meaning to isolate and bi 壁 meaning wall). If you think about it it makes perfect sense as the metal outline acts as '"cloison" or separation between the different colors. I'm glad I found this video as I often wondered how cloisonné was made. I also noticed that the lady didn't pronounce it right (I'm French after all), but she did a decent job with Chinese names although you can tell she was a bit uneasy. As a student of Chinese, and former student of English I try to always remember this saying: Speaking a foreign language with an accent is a sign of courage. :-)

[@barbaragrace1992]

They not a western country. Cloisonne whichever way you say it is done superbly by the Chinese. I don't see the west doing this. And by the way it originated in ancient Egypt and Greece.

[@argusfleibeit1165]

It was fixed after the beginning part.

@@pennycandyys : The narrator does not know how to pronounce cloisonné. She is adding an "i" to the last syllable which is wrong and incorrect in both French and English.

Interesting--but learn to pronounce the techniques ("cloisonné" and "solder") you're talking about.

[@jesuslovesyou1497]

Jesus love you, he died on the cross for you, accept him as your lord and savior he can change everything. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (John 3:16) But you must repent too. From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matthew 4:17):

[@franklesser5655]

The narrator's pronunciation of "cloisonné" is odd.

[@argusfleibeit1165]

She only did it at the beginning. Then the rest of if was correct. Should just be "clwa-za-nay" not "clwa-za-nyay".
