No experience with this company but I think it is pretty “full service.”
There is also a company in Texas called Yoko’s (I think) They also carry the
Ninomiya Japanese Enamels.
I hope this gives you someplace to start. They are “few and far between” but
once you find what you want they seem to be very dependable!
Hi Vicki,
This is a previously discussed topic and if you search the
archives you will find quite a bit of info…but here is a good
comprehensive posting that Juliet did for us some time ago that
I had saved.

I have spent quite a bit of time searching for enamel suppliers
and have found that the best sources are mail order suppliers. I
live right outside of New York City and have no trouble finding
Thompson Enamel products, which I must say are excellent, but
they have stopped manufacturing leaded enamels and unfortunately
for us leaded enamels have a certain clarity and luster that
cannot be matched by unleaded glass.
My two main sources in NYC for enamel products and tools are also
mail order suppliers:
-
45 W. 46th StreetAllcraft
3rd Floor
New York, NY 10036
(212) 840- 1860
Tevel and Bob are great, they carry Thompson and Latham Enamels
from the UK, KlyrFire, Kilnwash, stoning supplies, you name it.
They are also the best source for raising/ forming tools and
hard-to-fi.Catalog $5
- Metalliferous
34 W. 46th Street
NY, NY 10036
(212) 944- 0909 phone
(212) 944- 0644 fax
These folks rock my world. If you come to NYC, you MUST visit
this store. Their prices are unbeatable, everyone working there
are wellsprings of this store is the penultimate
playground for metal workers. They carry Thompson Enamels and
almost anything else you can think of

Steve – thanks from me, too. I have done enameling in the past,
and had to drop out because the funding for the class I was
taking dried up. I am now hoping to go back into it in a small
way and need info as to where I can get thing. Thompson was where
we got all our enamels, and I think they are tops. But I need to
know where to get trivets etc. And also shapes. Margaret
