Over the last few years I have been conducting a research project entitled “Innovation in Vitreous Enamel Surfaces for Jewellery”. What underlies this rather clumsy title is my preoccupation with the place of enamel within contemporary jewellery practice, and on a more personal level, the project is an exploration of how I might employ enamel to address the ideas that underpin my own work.
