TORCH FIRED ENAMELING WITH ARGENTIUM

I have been experimenting with torch fired enameling on Argentium 935 sheet and 960 Pro cast pieces. We just completed a class at JSI in Torch Fired Enameling with Werner Cronauer. I have been very pleased with the results. The flowers were cast 960 Pro with 18k gold granules fused around the center and then fired the enamels on a wire screen 4 times. Colors stayed true. I did no pickling except just to make the 18k gold balls clean. The rest required no pickling. The next piece is also 960 Pro cast piece.

This piece was fired 6 times:
