How was it made? Enamelling a brooch | V&A

[@angelalooney22]

Wish this video was longer. It is fascinating to watch .

Came here to make the same comment. Was just getting fascinated by the process, then it was over. More like this please. But longer 🙏

A truly beautiful object. Good clear explanation of the enamelling techniques

[@ZoeLateNight]

Fascinating! I wonder how this was done hundreds of years ago, without the plastic film? Gorgeous artwork! Particularly the red glass ❤️

I've a friend who's a silversmith. She says that according to her elderly teacher, back in the day you just sketched in pencil right onto the metal; you could wipe it off with a damp cloth if you messed up.

They recreated a Saxon piece on Timeteam. West Langton?

Well, that was perhaps the most interesting video I’ve seen on YT. Almost unique in that I wanted more when, for most videos, I’m screaming less. Congratulations to the production team including getting the choice and volume of the music just right (for me). If you haven’t been and are able to go, please visit the V&A; a stunning museum with more to see than you can fit into a day. Go for a coffee to the tiled room; I defy anyone not to spend a lot of time there.

I enjoyed your video - I had always thought enamel was just paint.

[@oneshotme]

Very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@jocelynwade9458]

So beautiful and interesting to see the craft. Terrible screeching music at the end.

[@kentneumann5209]

Using an actual feather to apply the wet enamel to the piece.

[@shubhamchadha6196]

But how you made red ename appear on silver ??

[@r-cdmx]

🙌🏽✨

[@england6013]

How does the silver not melt

[@keltai83]

The melting temperature of the silver is much higher than the melting point of the enamel, so the kiln temp is set high enough to melt the enamel but not high enough to damage the silver. I imagine before modern kilns with thermostats it must've been a really nerve-wracking job!

[@kentneumann5209]

I wonder if gemstones could be powdered to dust and used instead of glass, or, would the fusing temp be too high for the metal to retain it's form?
