The art of Enameling
The art of Enameling where molten glass meets metal
Hello everyone!
I am Rosalia Pereira, founder of the Detalles
As an artist, I always love exploring different techniques and mediums. It's my way of staying connected to all the beauty and creative processes out there — and it keeps my mind healthy and young. Today, I’d like to invite you to discover the art of enameling. If this ancient technique sparks your curiosity, I encourage you to explore it further and let the “fire and color” workshop inspire you.
Imagine this: a tiny pile of fine, colored glass dust rests gently on a sheet of copper. It looks fragile, almost like powdered pigment or sugar — quiet, unassuming. But then, it meets fire.
As the kiln doors close or the torch begins to glow, the heat rises. Something ancient stirs. The powder starts to melt — slowly at first, then all at once — transforming into a shimmering liquid. It flows, fuses, and settles, marrying itself to the metal beneath. And when the fire calms and the piece cools, what’s left is nothing short of magic: a glossy, jewel-toned surface that catches the light like a flame caught in glass.
This is enameling — a dance between metal, glass, and fire. It’s part alchemy, part art. And it’s been practiced by human hands for over three thousand years.
Can you dream up spending 3 days creating beautiful enamel pieces at Fire & Color workshop inside the cozy, inspiring space of The Detalles Creative Nest?
It’s more than a workshop—it’s a soulful escape into creativity, color, and community.
Whether you're just beginning your journey or you're a seasoned enamelist, this intimate 3-day workshop is an invitation to slow down, notice the beauty in the smallest things, and reconnect with the joy of making by hand.
Here at The Detalles, we believe that the process is just as meaningful as the final piece. Enameling — with its quiet layering of glass on metal, its dance between fire and color — teaches us to be present, patient, and intentional.
Step away from the rush of everyday life and into a space of creativity, calm, and connection. Whether you're new to enameling or deep into your craft, this workshop is your chance to explore, learn, and rediscover the joy of making with your hands.
I invite you to "Step into the glow of an ancient craft and rediscover the timeless beauty of fire and color. Enameling workshop, once cherished by empires and artisans across centuries, — where molten glass meets metal in a dance of light, texture, and hue."
Enameling is more than a technique — it’s a journey through heat, color, and history.
Whether you're drawn to its luminous beauty or the joy of working with your hands, this ancient art form has something magical to offer. I hope this introduction has sparked your curiosity. Keep exploring, keep creating, and let fire and color lead the way.If you want more information please check thedetalles.com
