Cloisonne Factory

After the Great Wall was the Cloisonne Factory.  Even thought I saw this before, it was still fun to watch them make this stuff.  Something I missed last time was when they explained the coloring of the cloisonne is that they fill each little section with color, then fire it, then fill again and fire again.  They do that 7 times because the color shrinks in the firing process so that is how many times it takes before it is full with the color. Then there are 2 steps of polishing.
