I make stuff.
A while back, I had ordered another Kickstarter. Even though I’ve been burned before, it was pretty hard to resist ordering this Eazao Clay 3D Printer at a fraction of the price of anything else on the market. Kickstarters often take a very long time to materialize into a product (if they even do). Once this printer shipped it then sat in the California port for many, many months.
Have you ever liked a type of art but had no idea what it was called so you couldn’t look up how it was made? I certainly have. I recently came across the word “Cloisonné” and realized it was one of those things I had always wanted to know about.
Essentially, Cloisonné is an ancient enameling technique where you outline your design with strips of metal, drop-in enamel paste to color in your design, and then fire it in a kiln.
