Enamel Factory Kate Samuels

About

Striking vivid colours and memorable imagery create unique, unforgettable designs!

You’ll find Kate Samuels and the Enamel Factory team in a bright, airy and humming studio at the end of her garden in Herne Bay, Kent. Within a stone’s throw is a lovely stretch of shingle beach seaside, where family fun days in the sun inspire much of the bright and cheerful feel of the designs!

Inside the studio is an array of creative tools, paints, sketches and stencils. There’s an industrial kiln that turns over rounds of beautifully painted enamelware in swift succession. Along with drying racks, stacks of materials and boxes of orders ready for shipment.

Having grown up in an artistic household, Kate was encouraged to pursue her creative ambitions. From studying enamelling at college and further honing her craft with an MA while also creating a beautiful hub of creativity in her garden.

The Enamel Factory is a quaint little factory… but a colourful and delightfully industrious one, none the less.

The Enamel Factory produces bold, vibrant and attention grabbing pieces of tableware, ideal for special gifting. Each piece is meticulously hand painted and individually made; there is an exceptional attention to detail and a tactile surface quality. Striking vivid colours and memorable imagery create unique, unforgettable designs!

The Sgraffito technique used means that no two pieces are identical. And when the kiln is powered up, we steadily fire each item to perfection, so that the special vitreous glass enamel sinks into the enamel surface. The result is a lustrous, smooth, colourful finish. And the great thing is that, because enamelware has a solid metal core, the end products are virtually indestructible. Which means our items – including plates, bowls and mugs – are not only bright and beautiful, they can be taken anywhere. They’re perfect for camping, a spot of glamping, BBQs, garden parties, kids’ parties or fun and relaxed dinners!
