1. Making the tire: The tire is made by cutting copper plates according to the design. The shape and thickness of the tire need to be carefully controlled to ensure the quality of the final product.
2. Making the silk: The copper wire is pressed into a flat wire, and then bent into various patterns according to the design. This process requires a high degree of skill and patience.
3. Filleting the silk: Some irregular patterns need to be bent with a single copper wire, while regular and uniform patterns can be bent by combining several copper wires. The copper wires are usually bonded together with pigskin glue.
4. Bending the flowers: The bonded copper wires are cut into the required lengths and bent into the required patterns with tools. This process requires a high degree of skill and precision.
5. Attaching the flowers: The bent flowers are attached to the tire one by one with adhesive. The copper wires are only bonded and not very 牢固，so they need to be welded to ensure that they are firmly attached to the tire.
6. Finishing the work: The surface of the welded tire is covered with impurities such as welding medicine and adhesive. These impurities need to be removed by soaking the tire in dilute sulfuric acid. After that, the tire may be deformed, so it needs to be reshaped.
7. Pointing the blue: The enamel glaze is filled into the patterns on the tire with a special long-handled blue gun or a glass straw. This process requires a high degree of skill and precision to ensure that the glaze is evenly distributed.
8. Firing the blue: After the first application of color, the piece is fired once. After sintering, the pigment will shrink, so the second application of color and firing is required, which is called “pointing the second fire”. Some products may require three or even four firings to complete.
9. Polishing: The product needs to be polished to make the glaze smooth and the copper wires evenly exposed. Diamond sandpaper, a cloth wheel, and charcoal are used for polishing.
10. Design: The design of cloisonne is very difficult, as it needs to take into account the limitations of the process and the characteristics of the material. The design should be beautiful and practical, and at the same time, it should be able to show the unique charm of cloisonne.
