Daily practice in making cloisonné enamel

Cloisonne painting is a special form of art that originated from the traditional Chinese craft of Jingtai Lan. This craft reached its peak during the Ming Dynasty and was named Jingtai Lan because it primarily used blue glaze.The process of making cloisonné paintings requires strict procedures. Artisans need to bend the metal wire according to the contour of the design, fill the spaces between the wire with different colored enamel powder, and then fire it at high temperature to finally produce a vibrant work of art.Cloisonne painting not only preserves the characteristics of traditional Jingtai blue craftsmanship, such as delicate wirework and vibrant colors, but also breaks the limitations of traditional metal substrates and can be created on different materials, such as glass and paper.
