Where to buy Enamel Sample Pack
Can someone direct me to where I can purchase an enamel sample pack? I thought Frantz sold them but didn't find any.

I got the full sample set of enamels for Effetre. It says there is a teaspoon of each color. I figure one I figure out which ones I like I can order separately.

Eileen, did you get your enamels? I'm thinking of breaking into the enamel game but have no clue where to start other than buying the sample pack.

I did get them. I haven't actually used anything out of them yet
I have used a few enamels, but I got them a while back.
I need to try the pretty colors!

Do you know of a good book or tutorial out there for enamels - something easy like "enamels for dummies"?

For metal or glass? And if for metal, kiln or torch fired?

Don't forget to wear a mask! JC Herrel use to have one but I think she stopped selling it. This one is also by her but I think it might not be for the application you are interested in.

JC's work is amazing! I was thinking for glass... I've read up on the safety concerns and such but can't find anything tutorial wise other than JC's.

If you can take a class from JC, do it. She's the master.
I made a crazy long strand of sample enamel beads (each color on black, clear and white, plus the transparents also on ivory). Each color is tagged with color and number. It's a little insane, but I love it, because it's flexible and I can bend it to see different color combinations together.

I don't know of a tutorial for enamels on glass beads, sorry! But they are not hard to use, just be safe!
