About
the Artist
Janine
Partington is a designer-maker based in Bristol combining
the traditional craft of enamelling with fresh, clean,
contemporary design.
Enamelling
is the art of fusing glass onto metal. Enamel is a durable,
strong, impervious and colour-fast material which is well
suited for every room in the home or workspace from kitchen
to bathroom, from washroom to boardroom. The inherent
qualities of the enamel, its sheen and its interplay with
light bring something new and very tactile into a living
space.
Janine's
enamel panels and jewellery are inspired by trees, flowers,
leaves and seed heads, taking their shape and form in
new directions through the creation of intricate hand-cut
stencils. These stencils form the basis of many of her
panel and jewellery designs when enamel powder is sifted
over these stencils onto the bare copper.
