CLASS DESCRIPTION

During the class, you will learn the basic techniques of glass pictorial decoration in order to realize decorated glass windows and objects.

The cold painting on glass technique allows you to reproduce any kind of drawing.

Your oeuvres will light up by reflecting the colors of the surrounding surfaces.

Thanks to this technique, you will be able to create simulated Tiffany stained glasses to hang up on your window, reproduce famous paintings, decorate glasses, bottles, vases and any kind of glass object.

The opacity and transparency effects obtainable through the sandblasting technique, will allow you to realize colored mirrors and elaborate drawings without weighing your works of art down.

Due to its impalpable effect, opacity is always elegant and never intrusive. You can reproduce any kind of flower and geometrical patterns, laces and writings.
