Enameling on brass is the least expensive metal to enamel on but it is also the least friendly.
Enameling is growing again in popularity in the US, and many look to brass because of is low cost.
Thompson’s Enamel sell what is called guided metal which is brass with 5% zinc and 95% copper, = Brass. This is a brass you can enamel on. Caution need to be used to plan you execution of the enameling plan as you only have 2-3 firings before the enamels like to pop off.
One reason you will see limited colors and opaques used on brass.

Everyday someone visits this site asking if you can enamel on brass. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Barbara Lewis whom has not only developed torch firing enamels but has produced a line of brass jewels for enameling.
Check out her store where you can pick up and the supplies and instruction you need to achieve enameling on brass! She sells Thompson’s Unleaded Enamels for this so if you already have your enamels get some of her brass jewels and get started enameling on brass!
