A Study in Verre Eglomisé with Miriam Ellner
Hosted by Artist Miriam Ellner
Gilded grandeur and Verre Eglomisé. We spent the morning with Miriam Ellner @miriamellner, learning about rare and precious crafts of Verre Eglomisé. It is the unique process of gliding precious metals on the reverse side of glass, etching in a design before setting it off with color – an art form with origins dating back to the 15th century. Miriam has been specializing in this practice since the 1990’s, drawing inspiration from her background in dance and whatever piques her curiosity. We toured her beautiful studio, full of towering works and tiny details. It was a thrill to get an up close view of these phenomenal works. Thank you so much Miriam for hosting us.
