13TH  Biennial international juried enamel exhibition and 9th international juried student enamel exhibition

August 2011

Both exhibitions will be at the Oakland Art Gallery in Oakland, California

Historically, enamel  has been used to produce a shiny, glossy surface, but in recent years,  enamelists, especially in Europe, have begun to challenge that idea.  Enamel can be rough, textured, dull  and shiny, all on the same work. This movement has taken enamel beyond  its surface to expose its depth, versatility, and its relationship to the  supporting metal.

The 13th Biennial  International Juried Enamel Exhibition and 9th International Juried Student  Enamel Exhibition, sponsored by The Enamelist Society, will highlight the best  in contemporary enamels produced in the last 2 years. The International Juried Exhibition  will showcase the work of enamelists that demonstrates these aesthetic trends  and technical expertise. The Student  Exhibition, which is always very inspiring, will feature the work of students  in accredited degree programs throughout the world.
