Enameling is one of the ancient three Fired Arts besides glass and pottery. It has unique features of being a covenant between the artist and craftsman. Thus in order to make the form popular, The Enamelling Society is organising an exhibition “Enamel Revisited VIII- Art of unity and diversity” from March 16-22 at Visual Art Gallery.
In India, Enamelling or Meenakari has been seen traditionally as a jeweller’s craft, enhancing the effect of the gems in their setting and embellishing the reverse of the piece. Beautiful Meenakari sword hilts, boxes, turban ornaments, sarpech, and a whole range of jewellery was made in North India on gold and silver, which is still a flourishing practice in Rajasthan.
