"Experience the beauty of working with vitreous enamel,  a high quality
glass that has been ground into a powder form and colored with mineral and
metallic oxides. The enamel is fused to a metal surface by firing it in a
kiln at an average temperature of 1500F. In Erica's work, she fuses the
enamel to fine silver or 24k gold. Typically, a piece is fired as few as 6
or as many as 70 times, each firing with a new application of enamel. In
this manner, the permanent richness and depth of color unique to the art of
enameling is acquired. Erica then uses a technique known as Cloisonné in all
her work. With this type of enameling, her designs are created by separating
the glass colors into cells outlined by fine wires of 24k gold. Another
technique which can be seen in her work is Basse-taille. In Basse-taille
enameling, a pristine metal surface is manipulated to produce a textured
field. The texture can be created by traditional engraving, engine turning
(also known as Guilloche, as in Faberge eggs), stamping, hammering,
repousse, chasing, or shallow etching. The metal is then covered with layers
of translucent enamel. The textures underlying the enamel create deep
reflections and color tone changes within the piece when viewed under
varying light. Her completed enamels are then set into individually built
settings of 18 and 24k gold.
Druin grew up in New Jersey surrounded by art. Her mother Marylyn Druin, was
an internationally acclaimed designer of jewelry & art objects. After her
mother's passing in 2001, Druin began creating art of her own using the
skills, techniques and inspiration of her mother.
