INTRODUCTION TO CHAMPLEVE

Learn the unique and beautiful enameling technique of champleve (pronounced “shomp-la-vay”). This ancient technique involves filling vitreous enamel in the indentations of a metal object. The raised portions of the metal will remain untouched while the brilliant enamel will be visible in the grooves. This process has roots as early as the 1st century B.C. from the Celtics!
