Reviews
the Handbook for Enamelling should be a welcome Christmas present for any person interested in the art of enamel. * Association for Contemporary Jewellery (December 2006) * Enamelling is an extremely practical and user-friendly book, packed with useful information, advice and easy to follow step-by-step instructions. * Thompson Enamel Inc (8th December 2006) * Ruth Ball writes as beautifully as she enamels. Each chapter is short, concise, and filled with insightful information not always included in books of this genre. I found it to be more informative in relation to peripheral materials than most. * Enamelling Guild South Newsletter (January 2007) *
