This is a fun activity in Woolwich, London

In this hands-on one-day workshop, experienced artist and gilder Estitxu Garcia from Filigrana Design will teach you how to apply a variety of metal leafs onto glass using the traditional technique of Verre Eglomise.

You'll begin by learning the skills of gilding on glass using specialist tools and materials (all provided). Having mastered the basic techniques, you'll try your hand at distressing the gold and silver leaf to create a variety of finishes. You'll then move on to learning how to create designs, patterns, and drawings onto the gilded glass, transforming it into your own beautiful piece of artwork which you get to take home.

Classes are small and intimate with a maximum of 3 people per workshop, or you can choose to have a one-to-one private class. Dates are flexible, so if you would like a group class but you can't see a date that works for you, please get in touch, and we can try to accommodate.

We had a great day with Estitxu learning how to gild on glass and took home some really lovely samples. She is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher and we'd happily go back to learn more about this meditative and gentle art.

An amazing and very enjoyable day. Estitxu showed us three different techniques and explained each one in detail. By the end of the day, we were able to complete all three projects. I really recommend this course if you want to learn something new.

Had a lovely time with my friends and learned new techniques to paint and play with colours silver and gold foils! It was uplifting, joyful and a full day of creative work! Our teacher was patient and thought us many techniques to achieve what we wanted with our artwork.

It was so lovely to meet Estitxu and learn from her the art of glass gilding in such a wonderful space - she was incredibly generous with her time and was very encouraging with all our ideas, wanting to ensure that we could learn the technique to make the works as close to our original designs as we could while also incorporating new styles from the process. It was honestly such a lovely experience to share and I definitely look forward to more glass gilding in the future! Would highly recommend this workshop it was truly an excellent day and we left with several pieces we really love (including two fun coasters!)
