Verre Eglomisé


Spent a delightful Saturday in the workshops of the House of Mirrors doing a day course in verre églomisé. Pictures: picking up the gold leaf and a silvered mirror with gilded surrounded which was my finished piece (reflecting the skylight above). Also tried the technique on my lenses. I've come home with copious notes and ideas of how I could incorporate this into my jewellery. Very interesting bunch of fellow learners, one of whom is starting a business in glass 'wallpaper'. Stimulating day.
