Enameling Made Easy walks readers through the complete process of firing colorful enamel onto metal — from first setup through advanced techniques — with the clarity and patience of an experienced classroom teacher. The book is structured in two parts: Part One covers all the fundamentals — tools and materials, metalwork techniques (wirework, soldering, dapping, riveting), enamel types and selection, safety, workspace setup, and the basic concepts of torch-firing. Part Two presents 22 fully illustrated projects ranging from multidangle earrings and stenciled pendants to cloisonné charms, riveted bracelets, and enameled lariats — each one building on the skills introduced in Part One. Praised by readers as one of the best how-to jewelry books they've encountered, Enameling Made Easy is notable for its logical step-by-step organization, outstanding safety guidance, high-quality photography, and the rare inclusion of troubleshooting guidance. The companion 60-minute DVD provides close-up video demonstrations of the key processes. ✦ About the Author ✦ Anat Silvera Jewelry Teacher & Designer • Silvera Jewelry School • Berkeley, CA Anat Silvera is a professional jewelry teacher and designer based in Berkeley, California.
