The production process of cloisonné is more complex and generally includes the following steps:
1. Design: Designers design the patterns and shapes of cloisonné as needed, and draw drawings.
2. Tire making: The designed drawings are handed over to the craftsman, who makes the cloisonné carcass according to the drawings, usually using copper or brass as raw materials.
3. Filigree: Filigree is the most important step in the cloisonné production process, where craftsmen pinch the tiny copper wire into various shapes according to the designed pattern and glue it to the carcass with white squid paste.
4. Point blue: Point blue refers to the filling of the carcass of the pinched silk with glaze, which is usually made of quartz, feldspar, borax and other raw materials.
5. Burning blue: Put the carcass of the dotted blue into the furnace and fire it at high temperature to melt the glaze and combine it with the copper wire.
6. Polishing: After firing, there will be some rough places on the surface of the carcass, which need to be polished with a polishing machine.
7. Gold plating: The last step is to coat the cloisonné surface with a layer of gold or silver to increase its aesthetics and value.
The above are the basic steps of cloisonné's production process, and there may be some slight differences between different craftsmen and craftsmanship. Cloisonné production requires superb skill and patience, and every step requires fine operations and strict quality control to produce high-quality cloisonné crafts.
