Making of Cloisonne

@ANPC-pi9vu 2 years ago

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..
