B I O G R A P H Y Sue is an enamel artist who creates beautiful cloissone jewelry. Cloisonne is an ancient metalwork technique that makes use of small, precious metal filaments and colorful glass enamels to create brilliant artwork. The metal wires are bent into shapes to create small cells, (partitions) of designs. layers of finely ground glass enamel are fired into them, each one fired separately -usually by use of a kiln -- until the unique piece of art is rendered. Although it is most commonly used in cloisonne jewelry making, illustrations of the craft can be found in many facets of the art world. As a result of many applications throughout history, you can find hand-made dishes, vases, and abstract pottery.
