June Schwarcz was an experimental enamelist whose extensive body of work showcased the evolution of her innovative practice. After training as an industrial designer at Pratt Institute, she encountered enameling en route to Sausalito, where she would spend the next several decades defining the craft and cementing her status as one of the leading figures of the field. She used electroplating and electroforming techniques to produce varied textures in her work and often employed folding and stitching to further experiment with form and surface. Her work is in the permanent collections of multiple institutions including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
