Description

Step into the world of opulence and artistry in this unique workshop, which offers a fascinating journey into the realm of glass painting and the exquisite use of gold leaf. Gold leaf is an extremely thin sheet of pure gold that has been used for centuries for artistic and decorative purposes. In this workshop, you will learn how to work with Vitrail Relief Glass Liner to draw the outline of the subject on glass, then with the guidance of your instructor, you will explore painting on glass, combining colours and textures to complement the gold leaf elements. As the workshop concludes, you will leave with your own gilded glass masterpiece, a work of art that elegantly blends tradition with innovation.
