Reverse Glass Workshop

Saturday, August 15, 2020

Please call to reserve your space.

Join Reverse Glass Painting specialist, Anne Dimock, as she teaches you the step-by-step process of creating your very own reverse glass piece of art at the Madison County Historical Society’s Heritage Handicrafts: Reverse Glass Workshopon Saturday, August 15  from  9 am - 1 pm.  The process of creating reverse glass involves painting a piece of glass in such a manner so that when the glass is turned over the painting is visible through the glass and from the reverse side. The steps of reverse glass painting start with the image details and ends with the background, so that the artwork can be viewed from any angle as you turn the glass. As you learn and practice the techniques of reverse glass at the workshop, you will develop the skills necessary to master reverse glass painting.

Madison County Historical Society’s Heritage Handicrafts: Reverse Glass Workshopis part of a series of leisure arts workshops designed to engage and involve participants in Fine Arts and Crafts activities common in the 19th century, with a focus on making cultural connections to creative pastimes, which are still relevant today.  This year the Madison County Historical Society is collaborating with the Historical Society of Early American Decoration (HSEAD) member artists who will be leading a series of workshops at the Madison County Historical Society.
