Afternoon with an Artist: Reverse Glass Painting

Reverse glass painting, or Hinterglasmalerei, is an art form where the image is painted on the back of a glass sheet and viewed from the front.

Throughout the session on September 26, we will examine examples of the history of the craft and use acrylic paint, which dries quickly, and acrylic pens which work on glass. There will also be experimentation with the backgrounds using specialty papers and foils creating shimmering multi-dimensional effects.
