Although I enamel primarily on
copper I also enamel steel. Enameling on steel or cast iron is a
fairly recent development in the 3000-year-old history of the medium.
The process, discovered in the mid-19th century, has led to industrial
uses such as signage, architectural elements, cookware and utensils
(sometimes called camping ware or "tin ware"), and
appliances such as stoves, bathtubs, and washing machines.
I have been
fortunate to have studied "large scale enameling" at Kent
State University which introduced me to the world of industrial
enameling. I have also been able to work inside some local industrial
enameling factories to produce large-scale commissioned wall
installations in steel.
