Verre Eglomisé artist Miriam Ellner will be conducting a workshop in October that should prove to be very interesting and informative for anyone interested in decorative painting and gilded-glass artwork. Several years ago we did a project presented by her on Martha Stewart Living that has become a masterpiece and point of conversation.

Announcing – Verre Eglomisé Workshop & Society of Gilders Conference

October 25-31, 2010 – New Orleans

Artist Miriam Ellner, internationally known for creating elaborate custom Verre Elgomise pieces for both commercial and residential spaces, will be teaching a 3 day workshop on October 26-28th in the Big Easy in conjunction with the 2010 Society of Gilders Conference.

Ellner, who has worked in the medium for 20 years, will be explaining the ancient process of gilding precious metals on the reverse side of glass, etching in a design and setting it off with color. The class participants will come away with the knowledge and tools to successfully gild and paint on glass.
