Welcome to Dimensional Colors

Automn colors

Thank you for visiting Dimensional Colors, featuring individually handcrafted copper enamel switch plates. Enameling is the process in which glass is fused to metal using heat via a kiln. I have a wide selection of colors and styles in addition to the art plates shown. All of the art is original and executed free form, none are "copied". For the more amorphous designs (Styles page), the plates appear more similar, as I use the same colors and technique to create the design. The colors are complex and lustrous as they are layered in a particular way. The art looks painted, but they are not; I've developed techniques using dry powdered enamels, as opposed to "wet" enamels. Each piece is fired individually, the number of firings range from 2 to 5, allowing me to create intricate images. The screws for the art plates are enameled to blend in, otherwise metal screws are included.

6"x6" tile

Also available, are a variety of amorphous type designs shown on the Styles page; these are less elaborate, flowing designs giving a more classic look, rather than the elaborate images depicted on the art plates. Tiles and pendants will be available soon. I use UV rated, machine stamped solid copper switch plates.I can do upt to the 4 gang switch size, outlets, GFI's and combination plates.
