Equipment for all classes and all back up materials are given out.

These classes are suitable for students both with and without experience in painting and/or gilding on glass. New techniques are being developed all the time and there is always something to learn. We will decorate glass with precious metal leaf and with a variety of backing up methods, always taking the opportunity to push the medium further. All work is carried out on the back of the glass, with the final work being viewed from the front, through the sheet of glass.
