How do you make a cloisonne?

To make cloisonné, start by shaping a metal base, typically copper, into the desired form. Next, you apply thin metal wires to create compartments (cloisons) on the surface, which will hold the enamel. Fill these compartments with colored enamel powder, then fire the piece in a kiln to fuse the enamel to the metal. Finally, polish the surface to achieve a smooth finish, revealing the vibrant colors and intricate designs.
