Janine Partington
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 colourfast 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.
