Anyone got any ideas as to where I can purchase japanese lacquers such as Urushi?  I am in the UK but can purchase online.

 Also does anyone know of any books available on cold enamelling?  I am booked on a course end of October but would like to read up a little before I go.

 Thanks

There are some sources (and recipes) listed in the book:
Japanese Patinas by Eitoku Sugimori

Not sure about cold enamelling.......although I think there is some info in one of Carles Codina's books. I'd have to check at home...

Thanks Janice,

I'll check out the book on Amazon.  I've got one Charles Codina book and there's nothing in that one about cold enamelling so I'll take a look at his others.

Thanks once again.
