Enamelling on to Glass via Silk Screen

After trying this technique last week I am totally won over. It's so satisfying to design something on my computer, get a silk screen made from that, then use that to enamel on to glass, fire in a kiln and there you go!





All the glass panels were fired at 800C. Combined with fusing this will be a great way for me to work. It has many possibilities and I am raring to do more. I used high temperature firing enamels, due to the probability of slumping. The down side is that these enamels do contain lead. Ultimately I will look at other types of enamels, hopefully there will be success with other manufacturers.
