Jane has held a long term fascination with enamelling, since visiting Limoges,  at the time of the International Enamelling Exhibition many years ago. The visual impact of  enamel, layers upon layers of enamel (powdered glass)  on fine silver and copper was enduring .  Enamelled items also last !
Following a career in education, she has had the time to  develop an experimental approach to enamels,  through exploration and opportunities for working with  a number of mentors in the Guild of  Enamellers. Her enamelling work is smaller  scale, on copper and some fine silver. She makes many types of jewellery, brooches, earrings, pendants, bracelets  and also small bowls and dishes and autumn leaves.
Enamelled pieces are unique. Each piece of work is put into a very hot kiln for perhaps 2 minutes at a time , then cooled and cleaned, but then this is repeated over a couple of hours and this builds up the depth of colour on the metal on both sides. A process Jane describes as something close to alchemy !
