ART COMMISSIONS, BESPOKE GOLD LEAF GLASS SIGNS, PRINTS AND POSTERS
Gold leaf glass wall art made by hand painting and gilding onto the back of glass, known as reverse glass gilding (verre eglomise).
Art prints and posters also available.
Pieces are custom made to order and use 23ct gold leaf, if you have a bespoke sign or piece of artwork in mind just send me an email, I offer all clients the option to pay a deposit.
There is also a mixture of one-off, hand-painted original art pieces and printed typography posters which are in stock and ready to be posted.
Perfect gifts to mark a celebration like an anniversary (third wedding anniversary is glass), 50th anniversary gifts are gold (perfect for a gold leaf sign!), or big birthday, a keepsake, memento or memorabilia for a music lover.
My iconic wall art designs often include mother of pearl shell and colourful fonts and images, they can come framed or unframed.

What is gilding?
Gilding is the process of applying gold leaf to a surface. The area i specialise in is glass gilding which is also known as Verre Eglomise or reverse glass gilding.
Reverse glass gilding uses a specific type of adhesive known as ‘size’. This is applied to the glass surface with gold leaf then laid on immediately using a squirrel tip, and then left to dry.
All the gold leaf is applied to the back of the glass, once dried it is then painted on. By painting on the back of the gold leaf it seals it. Once the paint is dry, you can wipe away the excess gold, leaving your artwork showing in gold leaf from the front of the glass.
Gold Leaf Signage
Looking for gold leaf signage? I create gold leaf signs on glass, wood and many other surfaces, for personal pieces or for businesses and shop fronts.
Gold Leaf Artwork
My gold leaf wall decor pieces are often one-off original artworks, or something made bespoke to you. I paint gold leaf glass signs usually as personalised gold leaf wall art for clients, you can commission me to hand paint and gild a bespoke piece for you by paying a small deposit here.
I also create art with gold foil, like posters and gold leaf prints, these are colourful gold foil wall art designs often with song lyrics and quirky quotes.
