I use vitreous enamel on copper primarily in my jewelry making and have carried that medium over to my painting practice. I start by forming copper sheet and trimming the edges to shape my “canvas”. Building up multiple layers, I apply sifted enamel to the copper and kiln fire before the next layer is applied. Interspersed in these layers I include various other forms of enamel. The finished piece is chemically etched and hand polished to give the surface a dreamy matte finish.
