The
word
"Cloisonné" is used to describe both a finished art object,
and a process. Cloisonné is a labor-intensive craft involving a
complex multi-step enamel process, that can produce stunning results
The
Process Of Making Cloisonné Product |
 |
First Step:Base-hammering |
Base-hammering of body is the first
step in the making of cloisonne. The material used for making
the body is copper, because copper is easily hammered and stretched.
This step requires a sound judgement in the shaping and uniformity
of thickness and weight. It is in fact the work of the copper-
smith. The only difference is that when an article is shaped,
the copper- smith's work is finished, whereas the cloisonne
craftsman's work has just begun.
|
| 
|
Second step:Filigree soldering |
This step requires great care and high creativeness.
The artisan adheres copper strips onto the body. These strips
are of 1/16 inch in diametre and of lengths as the artisan
desires. The strips of filigree thus adhered make up a complicated
but complete pattern. The artisan has a blueprint in mind
and he can make full use of his experience,imagination and
aesthetic view in setting the copper strips on the body.

Third step: enamel filling |
The third step is to apply colour which is known
as enamel filling. The color or emamel is like the glaze on
ceramics. It is called falang. Its basic elements are boric
acid, saltpetre and alkaline. Owing to the difference in the
minerals added, the colour differs accordingly. Usually one
with much iron will turn grey, with uranium, yellow, with chromium,
green, with zinc, white,with bronze, blue, with gold or iodine,
red. In time of filling, all the colours, ground beforehand
into minute powder and contained in plates, are placed in front
of the workers and are then applied on the little compartments
separated by filigree. |
 |
Fourth step:enamel firing |
The fourth step is enamel firing. This is done
by putting the article, with its enamel filling, to the crucible.
After a short moment, the copper body will turn red. But after
firing, the enamel in the little compartments will sink down
a bit. That will require a re-filling. This process will go
on repeatedly until the little compartments are finally filled.
|
 |
Fifth step: polishing |
The fifth step is polishing.
The first polish is with emery. Its aim is to make the filigree
and the filled compartments even. The whole piece is again put
to fire, then polished once more with a whet-stone. Finally,
a piece of hard carbon is used to polish again so as to obtain
some lustre on the surface of the article. |
