How to use Lustres

View our online presentation of how to use Lustres:

 

 

A fun, online demonstration, packed with ideas and projects using overglaze products, including REAL Gold, Silver and Mother-of-Pearl.

 

Learn:

• How to prepare an item and use Lustres on glazed ware.
• What precautions are required with a potentially Toxic product, in application and firing.
• How to clean brushes and preserve the product.
• How to fire.
• How to use a Gold Pen for fine writing with Gold and Silver on a piece.
• Successful tips for using Gold, Silver, Mother-of-Pearl and other precious metal lustres.
• When and How to use on a Matte glaze.

 

Jane will demonstrate the use of these products over the Zoom platform, showing you some simple projects and highlight the best practice for application and firing.  Please get yourself a clear glazed item from your studio if you want to paintalong as we demonstrate, or, simply watch first, then decide where best to use lustres on your items.  As the product is expensive, you may want to choose wisely!
