Naml-On

The easy effective way of creating enamels using (frit),

enamel powder.

This completely unique method will lead you into the

wonderful skill of fusing powdered glass to copper

Naml-On

The Naml-On box comes complete with everything

you will need for a successful Naml-On process

Naml-On

Comes with the Color Controller (CC), Mylar

reference sheets, design templates, detailed easy to follow instructions, a marker

and weights.

Mylar is an extremely stable material. It can be used for

many years.

Prepare the Overlays:

Take the Mylar grid and place it over the included template design.


Trace onto the Mylar from the printed overlay designs included in the Naml-On kit.


Cut out the black areas on the Mylar with an X-acto knife

Using the Color Controller “CC”

The Controller comes with a removable cover marked with registration points that correspond to the Mylar grid.

A base is designed to support the enamel piece being created.


The lines on the Controller are reference points that match up with each of the Mylar squares.


A piece of previously enameled copper is placed on the felt pad.


Enamel adhesive is lightly brushed on the copper piece.


Using the tweezers situate the first overlay so that the reference points on it line up with the points on the cover.


Using tweezers place a weight on the top corner and then weight the opposite corner and then if necessary the side corners, to insure that your overlay will continue to stay in position until lifted.

Putting the Color On

Using a 80 ml. sifter with a small amount of the first

color, sift a coating of powder onto and through

the overlay.

This will be the beginning of the design form.


Remove the Color Controller, with the first

overlay and weights, leaving the enamel powder on the piece of enamel precisely where you need it for this

design.

Excess powder is easily removed to be returned to

the container.


The Color Controller is positioned back in its place

and the next numbered overlay is placed and

weighted.


The next color is sifted onto the copper, positioned

precisely because of the overlay reference points.


The process is repeated through the numbered

overlays, each time positioning a new color on

the piece of copper.


The process is repeated through the numbered

overlays, each time positioning a new color on

the piece of copper.

Colors are arbitrary depending on the intentions

of the artist.

Firing the Enamel Round

For this demonstration we have used a three inch

pronged trivet and a four inch firing rack.

Firing the Enamel Round

Our firing fork is one most commonly used to transfer

small enamels into a preheated kiln.

Our Kiln is heated to 1400 degrees. Pieces usually

require 90 to 120 seconds in the kiln.

Finished

We polish the edges of our enamel pieces with an ordinary Dremeltm tool.

The Naml-On process is not confined to small pieces.

Instructions for a much larger color controller

designed for experienced enamellists will soon be

available.

Finished

Naml-On comes with one design, this should lead you

into creating your own images. Additional Mylar

grids may be ordered.

Naml-On does offer a number of pre-printed designs which are also

available.

We appreciate your time in watching our presentation.
