Discover the art of fusing glass with gold leaf and precious metals ~ online or in person
Online video course
I will be sharing my "trade secrets" ~ wonderful techniques developed over my 40 years of glass making experience. Through videos, photographs and comprehensive instructions, you learn how to create the "Seasons" range of glass artworks heat fused with gold leaf.
This is a unique making process using a specialist enamel developed through my lifetime of working experience. Places are strictly limited so that I can personally give everyone full one to one email or Whatsapp support. It is easy once you know how, but as with all skills it takes a little practice. To give you chance to practice I am including £250 worth of this unique enamel for free in the course fee of £250 to get you started.
This online course is a genuine skill share from glass artist to glass artist. You have access to the information for as long as you wish. Most importantly you have my full support and back up.
It's not the cheapest of processes to work with, but the results are well worth it as they are absolutely exquisite. Despite the cost of the gold leaf, it works out area by area a lot cheaper than say dichroic glass. Float glass is very affordable, so that helps to balance the costs.
You will also need
Gold leaf
4mm float glass
A kiln with an accurate controller with several ramps and holds
A UV lamp for testing for the tin side of float glass

As a wonderful bonus, artworks created using this process are two sided. The two photos are of the same triptych viewed from the different sides.
