[421] Enameling On Fine Silver Metal Clay
Enameling on pieces made from Precious Metal Clay is a joy! The clay is malleable and will take any shape or texture: it handles like ordinary clay before it is sintered.

After 12 years of discipline in the grisaille technique, she turned to color and foils that gave her a feeling of limitlessness. Her metalsmithing techniques are her own, the necessity of concept driving the ability to execute. Everything about her work is personal - it is driven by passionate yearning. Enamel work has been her only employment since 1967.... (2004)
