Description

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 eglomise'. Since the Renaissance the practice has passed in and out of fashion but today it is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. 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 book is written for students, artists, 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 The history of unfired decoration on glass is recounted in depth, illustrated with hitherto unpublished pictures. 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.

Much later she ran the gilding department of the antique furniture restoration business she ran with her partner, Peter Binnington.

She taught courses extensively all of which led to a renaissance of the art and wide popularity of this exciting technique. In later years Frances researched gold, glass and the image further, gaining an Master of Philosophy at the Royal College of Art. THis book is the culmination of Frances' working life as a gilder and researcher.Bretz, Simone: - Simone Bretz.
