eNamel Newsletter a free online newsletter for those interested in vitreous enamel - glass on metal - and the pursuit of excellence. eNAMEL will initially be produced every second month. Central to each issue will be a "featured enameller" and some of their work, and when time permits a "featured enamel" which will generally be an historic or antique piece. We'll also include articles by and about knowledgable practitioners in fields related to vitreous enamelling. Hand engraving and engine turning (guilloche) are two highly-specialised and demanding disciplines which spring readily to mind.
g'day Folks. A number of people have suggested the establishment in eNAMEL of a forum where questions posed by the public (you) were posted, and answered by the public (you).
O.K., done! The link's in the right navigation bar on the main page. The off-site forum will be moderated to the extent that anything in poor taste will be removed immediately (unless it's in really poor taste and funny).
Also in the right nav. bar there's now a direct link to the "enamel links" section at my main website.
