Hi Geraldine, I'm just getting into enamelling and this is extremely useful. Thank you for taking the time three years ago to make this video, the information it it is still as valid today as the day that you made it, and in a hundred years time it'll still remain true and helpful to folks. Well done girl! Good luck and kind regards . . . Andy

Such a great explanation of the differences of the mesh size. Nothing else I’ve seen is this clear and helpful. Thank you!

Glad it was helpful and thanks for getting in touch Marie, I'll be doing more videos during the summer when I have more time.

So easy when you explain. Thank you so much Geraldine

You're very welcome! I know, mesh sizes can be confusing and can also make the difference between something really good and something really heavy-handed and clumsy. Remember that layering is much better than putting loads on and give much more gravitas, texture and interest to your work.

Very, very useful! I've been working primarily with fused glass and powdered frit, but have take a few enameling classes. One of my primary challenges is creating smooth layers while sifting, and also with fine detail work (such as script). I've been designing a power sifter with both fine-line cups and also with more traditional area sifter cups using various meshes. Your video has helped me better understand how the different enamels can be applied. I hope to soon be asking for some "beta" testers to get design feedback. If you are interested, please reply to this note and I''ll get back to you on your website email. I love the artwork on your site! Best, Bob

This is great. Just what I was looking for.

Hi Blue, I'm delighted. I wasn't sure if I explained this very well - if you have any questions don't hesitate to get in touch.
