 Coming this Autumn - Gold Leaf, Paint & Glass!
This pioneering book is the first publication in English to devote itself to the methods, techniques and history of reverse painting and gilding on glass, often known as verre églomisé. Since the Renaissance the practice has passed in and out of fashion but today it is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. It is widely collected; discerning designers commission decorated glass for wall and ceiling panelling and for furniture inserts, while artists are increasingly exploring the medium, pushing at its boundaries.
This publication is written for students, artists, collectors, conservators, curators, interested amateurs, teachers and designers, many of whom will have been patiently waiting to learn more on this topic.
The history of unfired decoration on glass is recounted in depth, illustrated with hitherto unpublished pictures and in the practical section clear step-by-step projects, suitable for a beginner as well as for a more experienced artist, serve as a singular introduction to an elegant, sophisticated art.
Frances Federer, M. Phil., (RCA) has spent her working life practising and teaching gilding on glass; this book is the long awaited culmination of her experience. If you would like to see more of her work and learn more about her then please visit her website at www.gilding.net.
Gold Leaf Supplies stocks a complete range of paints, brushes, both imitation and genuine gold leaf and more besides; all that the budding artist or experienced artisan needs to experiment with this fabulous and exciting medium.
