Karen L. Cohen has been an enamelist and educator for more than 40 years and is the author of The Art of Fine Enameling. She also loves buttons and is both a collector and a Studio Button Artist. Her unique perspective of enamelist/collector shows through in every aspect of this book, as she explores the history of enamel and buttons, documents the work of antique and contemporary button artists, and uses detective skills to explain the many techniques you’ll find in enamel buttons and how to tell one from another. She resides in Milford, Pennsylvania.

Reviews for Enamel Buttons: An Essential Resource for Collectors

"""Although the book has hundreds of button illustrations, it is much more than a coffee-table book with a lot of pretty pictures. The captions and the accompanying text provide solid educational information that the reader can apply to new buttons they may encounter in their future col­lecting. From our initial contact and subsequent discussions, I could tell that Ms. Cohen spent quite a while research­ing the subject thoroughly. She has been a teacher for all of her adult life and an enam­elist for many years, having previ­ously written books on enameling for enamelists. In this, her latest effort, she explains all aspects of enameling to people who specifically collect enamel buttons. I am confident that this book will become a valuable tool in the armory of the but­ton collector. It ranks along The Big Book of Buttons, Fairbairn's Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland, and Buttons by Diana Epstein.""
