Noel Weber @nbweber a genius technician and high end craftsman in many materials .Noel made 15 slumped and gilded glass panels for all the students as extra pieces as part of the workshop in Boise, Idaho . This shot shows the stainless steel rings ready for the glass to be placed on top to be curved by slowly adding heat over 20 hours. It’s an amazing effect when gilded and painted with endless possibilities . #kiln #glass #gilding #techniques #art #handcrafted #handmade #manufacture A photo posted by David A Smith (@davesmithartist) on May 7, 2015 at 3:46pm PDT

This panel of glass gilding turned out great. Edward McKeever made an amazing job of his panel on this workshop. The studios here are full of eye candy and inspirational design. @edwardmckeever #American #artandcraft #handmade #handrawn #handcrafted #sign #glass #design #goldleaf #old #old-fashioned#craftsmanship #vintage #victorian#etched #ephemera A photo posted by David A Smith (@davesmithartist) on May 4, 2015 at 7:35pm PDT
