Enamel works…

I love Helen Carnac’s work…and Japanese influenced work is always first on my list. Her pieces are formed
with subtle, textural enamel work and color along with simplicity of form…beautiful!
Helen Carnac is a maker, curator and academic who lives and works in London. Drawing, mark-making, the explicit connections between material, process and maker and an emphasis on deliberation and reflection are all central to her practice as a maker and thinker. An Internationally acclaimed enameller – she works with vitreous enamel on steel – it is the type of enamel used for domestic ‘white wear’ – including baths, sinks, pots and pans.
