Enameling is the art of fusing glass to metal at high temperatures.

There are many techniques that use this process, some defined by the way the enamel is applied to the metal and some by the metal preparation itself. The most well known technique is Cloisonné. See a glossary of enameling terms (as a.pdf file so you can view on-line, print or download for your personal use).

I have written two books on enameling. Read about The Art of Fine Enamleing, Second Edition, my second book, published in 2019. These are basically how-to books for enamelists.

I've completed a 3rd book about enamel buttons for collectors. Read about Enamel Buttons, An Essential Resource for Collectors due out December 2024.
