Enameled Objects for the Home

• Vessels
• Wall pieces

Judy Stone is one of a small group of people worldwide who call themselves enamelists. Enameling, the centuries-old process of fusing glass to metal with high heat, is a very difficult medium to control. It requires that the enamelist understand the intricate dance of metal, glass and heat. It demands an understanding of color used three-dimensionally. Judy Stone, whether she's creating sculptural vessels or large-scale wall pieces, is an enamel artist in complete control of her medium.

News from the Enameling Studio

I know I haven't posted to this column in a few months. I was hoping to set up a new website with "blog potential" before the end of 2011. Unfortunately, bad timing and general ineptitude have caused a delay of this process. I now am on track to begin the "re-imagination" of this website. My new goal is to shed technological impairment and have the new site up and running in April.

Meanwhile there is lots of activity in and around the enameling studio. I am now preparing for the American Craft Council Show in Baltimore at the end of February. At the same time I have 3 simultaneous exhibitions happening in March and April. Later this year I have been invited to show my work in South Korea. I am also coordinating the Northern California Enamel Guild's biennial juried exhibition which will happen later in the year. See my events page on this site for more details.

I have started making small (4" x 4" and 6" x 6" square) flat wall pieces which I will sell only at my crafts shows. The theme of these topographically inspired pieces is a hot air balloon trip I took a few years ago which traveled for a time over the farmland near Winters, California:

My enameled light switch covers are still available for sale on Etsy. I will be putting a few at a time online. Remember, when they are gone, they are gone! To see current offerings, visit Etsy. Or contact me to find out about remaining switch covers.
