Willow Deep Studio provides traditional glass painting services for both historic restoration as well as original artwork commissions. Evidence of painting pigments on glass dates back to around 2000 BC with origins in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Roman Empire and surged in popularity and artistic skill during the Middle Ages, then the Renaissance, and again in the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. Painting on glass continues to be a specialized art form to depict more realist designs or realistic illustrations than the limitations of glass and lead alone.

Brenna Chase is professionally trained in the advanced techniques of glass painting. The process entails tracing, shadowing and etching layers of leaded or non-leaded paint, enamel and/or silver stain that are each hand-mixed, then firing each layer in a kiln before adding the next. Willow Deep Studio is dedicated to restoring pre-existing, damaged glass paintings as well as applying traditional and inventive glass painting skills to contemporary, original glass art. Please contact us if you are interested in glass painting services.

Willow Deep Studio can build a myriad of professional leaded and stained glass projects from traditional designs to custom illustrative pieces to three-dimensional products. Once a design is chosen, measured and hand-drawn into a pattern, all of the colored (or clear) glass pieces are cut by hand from larger sheets and refined with a grinding machine if needed. Each piece of glass is then framed in either copper foil or lead came and pinned in place before being soldered together at high heat. If lead came is used, the piece is solidified with putty before being polished. Contact us if you are interested in custom stained glass for your home or business.

GOLD LEAF AND PAINTED SIGNAGE

Willow Deep Studio provides custom professional gold leaf or painted signage for your business, house numbers for your historic home, and entrance signs for your country cabin. Choose from a variety of traditional gilding techniques, styles and fonts for your signage, or owner/artisan Brenna will work with you to create an original design or logo from scratch. Owner/artisan Brenna is a member of the Society of Gilders and has years of professional experience applying verre églomisé, the french term for the traditional technique of gilding onto the back of glass to make a mirror finish. Signage can be gilded and/or painted directly onto your storefront window or house transom or on wood, metal, glass or other material so it can hang separately and be transportable if needed. House numbers or business signage may involve a vinyl stencil or be drawn by hand, depending on the look desired. Original gilded signage that is in poor condition can either be restored or recreated. Contact us if you are interested in hand-gilded or painted signage an we will work one-on-one with you to select from the countless ways to go about achieving how you want to present your business storefront or private residence.

ARCHITECTURAL GOLD LEAF

Gilding involves applying thin leaves of genuine gold or precious metal alloys to a surface. Numerous techniques exist depending on the surface and look desired, but to simplify, usually either a size (glue, for matte finish) or gelatin (for mirror finish) is applied to the prepared surface before each thin leaf is applied by hand. Multiple layers of gold may be required. The leaf is then burnished (polished) before being protected with a layer of varnish. Gold leaf is an extremely delicate material and turns to dust immediately on contact with one’s skin (just one of the many aspects that make is special!), so skillful handling is required.
Architectural gold leaf is a skilled art of detail, whether it entails adding a strip of 23k gold to decorative moldings in a house, adding a personalized design to an instrument to make it one-of-a-kind, or giving new life to a pair of old candlesticks. Owner/artisan Brenna likes to say “I gild anything – try me!”

Give your leaded or stained glass window panels new life with professional repair work. Even though much of older stained glass is no longer made anymore, Willow Deep Studio can help match broken pieces of glass as closely as possible with new, more affordable alternatives. Restoration/repair varies in labor and cost depending on the complexity of the job and it is important to have a trusted advisor help you weigh out what is worth repairing depending on a piece’s monetary or sentimental value. Owner/artisan Brenna is also skilled in restoring original gilded signage and house numbers. Feel free to contact us  for a repair or restoration estimate.

Please add your contact info HERE to be alerted of any upcoming workshops, sales and other future local events. I also offer private lessons for larger groups; please contact us for more info if you are interested.

*** Visitors from out of town (or anyone who wants to select their own private workshop date online) can now book a stained glass suncatchers workshop as an Airbnb Experience HERE. The cost is larger here due to the significant fees Airbnb collects, but the benefit is you get to pick any date that is convenient for you, for a much smaller class size. If there is a date you really want that is unavailable, contact us to see if we can make it work.***

The post MIRRORS first appeared on Willow Deep Studio.]]> Willow Deep Studio creates custom mirrors out of gold leaf using the traditional verre eglomise method that involves gelatin, which makes the surface reflective. Owner/artisan Brenna is a member of the Society of Gilders and has trained and apprenticed professionally in many traditional techniques of gold leaf. The process of making gold leaf mirrors dates back all the way to the first century AD and can create beautiful textures that add a classic touch to any home. Gilded mirrors can also be hand-etched or distressed to look as if they are antique, and this can entail many different effects depending on the style desired. For more contemporary pieces, pieces can be crafted using repurposed antique or new acrylic mirror cut into various shapes with stained glass incorporated into the design or border. The possibilities are endless! Please contact us if you are interested in a custom mirror piece.
