Meet The Artist: Layering Feelings Into Form
I am Himani, an enamel artist originally from Lucknow and currently based in New Delhi, India. As The Joyful Enamelist, I work with the ancient craft of fire enamelling, layering emotion as I layer enamel—slowly, intentionally, through cycles of heat and transformation.My work explores the human condition through fire, metal, and colour, creating jewellery and art objects that hold quiet dialogues between fragility and strength, chaos and calm. Inspired by forgotten Indian crafts and unspoken stories, I create pieces that move beyond ornamentation to evoke pause, feeling, and connection.I am a mother and a maker who questions what others accept, bending feeling into form. Enamel, for me, is poetry in fire—a way to make memory tangible, emotion visible, and joy deeply felt.

Our Values
Fire enameling began as a kind of alchemy — humans discovering that earth, metal, and powdered glass could be fused by flame into something immortal. Ancient artisans in Persia, Egypt, and India watched colors bloom in the furnace like controlled lightning, realizing they could trap beauty inside metal forever. What started as royal ornamentation slowly became a language of preservation, a way to encode stories in something the world couldn’t erode. Every enamel piece since then carries that same primal moment: heat meeting hope, and color refusing to fade.
