Leaf skeletons are laid on a bed of soft linen fabric and brushed with gold paint to add subtle highlights to this laminated glass design.

Please note, laminated fabric is available from 8mm. Please allow approximately 1-3mm additional panel thickness to allow for bonding agents/fabric.

Laminated Glass

• Laminated glass is produced through the use of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) as an inter-layer. The process of laminating glass forms a safety glass – holding together even when shattered.
• This EVA solution can be mixed in a clear form to become invisible once set or a white adhesive can be used to create a `milky` finish, altering the translucency of the glass.
• Additionally, foreign objects such as fabrics, metal meshes, wood veneers, stone veneers, paper, and digital films, etc. can be placed between the glass to form a strong, functional, and decorative panel design.

Painted Glass

• Painting on glass differs from traditional canvas or paper as glass is non-absorbent. The paint is therefore placed on the surface via the paintbrush and texture is created by building up thicker outward layers of paint rather than a thicker inward soak into a porous canvas or paper.
• Glass paint is created by mixing ground up or powdered clear glass with pigmented paint. The purpose of the ground up / powdered glass is that once painted on to the surface of a glass panel, this can be kiln fired – causing the glass powders to fuse with the glass panel and make the painted design permanent.
• Back painted glass refers to glass that is painted on the rear face. The paint is therefore viewed in reverse through the glass. The advantage of this over a painting on canvas or paper is that the glass protects the artwork from physical damage or fading.
