CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
First Steps in Enameling - 
This book has pretty good information if you are a beginner. I took a class and the teacher recommended this book, which is why I bought it. I have to admit that I have another book I like much better.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
First Steps In Enameling -
Excellent book for a beginner. A step by step approach is taken and each step gives you a small project to work on. Overall, this is one of the best books that I was able to follow and learn the beginning steps of enamelling on my own.
good tips for enamelling -
this was a very good book for learning enamelling techniques. The book includes good pictures and advices. In Finland we have nothing like that in Finnish language so first we have to learn english and then try to translate all those ways to enamel. There are so many amazing books for jewellery workers in english and this was one of them.

This is a very good starting book to answer questions about what you need to know and have and also do to get started in enamel. This will be a reference book you will keep if you choose to continue in the craft. This book on the craft of enameling. Is up to her other works in the jewelry/metal art fields. It starts out to ground the newbie in the basics. The publisher also chimes in with the standard warnings about materials and equipment. My only warning is if you have no uncommon sense, please take up something else. She covers intro to enameling, equipment and materials and working with enamels. Moving on to seven easy type projects that you can make changes to if they do not suit you. All without loosing any of the instruction. Then moves on to some more techniques. Following up with seven more projects. Ending with a couple of pages of troubleshooting info which a lot of craft books lack. A glossary and the resource guides.
The pictures are clear, crisp and in color. With only enough work table shown for balance. They are of a size that gives a good visual of the descriptions along with the numbers on both. The gallery pages are dispersed thru the book. With an assortment of Jinks and other artists work. I own it I am planning on keeping it.
