Cloisonne also known as Chinese Jingtailan (Chinese cloisonne craft) is famous for delicate metal wire patterns and rich enamel colors. Real traditional cloisonne requires kiln firing multiple times with complex manual procedures and high threshold for ordinary art lovers. DIY cloisonne enamel kit provides accessible way to touch this intangible cultural heritage craft without professional kiln
The core of cloisonne craft lies in forming small divided cells with thin metal wires. Artisans bend thin metal wire into various pattern outlines and fix wires to base surface to form independent tiny compartments. Traditional copper-base cloisonne welds wire onto solid copper tire and completes high temperature firing repeatedly. DIY kit keeps the core wire-bending skill while uses cold-cure materials for easy home crafting. No kiln or high-temperature operation is required.
Standard cloisonne enamel DIY kit contains pre-printed pattern board, metal wires, tweezers, special glue, colored enamel sand, sealing coating and basic auxiliary tools. Multiple classic themes are available including lotus cloud shoulder horse sunflower camellia and ancient cultural totem. Users follow printed lines to bend and stick metal wire fill colored sand into divided areas and apply sealing coat after drying. Complete handmade artwork can be finished at home within several hours.
