Gilding on glass

profile picture

Cas Pollen is an artist and designer who for 25 years has worked principally with gold and silver leaves gilded on the reverse side of glass. The methods she uses are derived from the ancient technique of Verre Eglomise which was used at the turn of the century in France to decorate framed glass. “The glass is my canvas and by experimenting with a varitety of metal leaves, acids, and paints I can create and develop different styles and designs. My ideas and inspirations are generally organic plant-based forms but more recently I have been looking at layering the glass with dimensional shapes.”
