I am artist with over 30 years experience, who specialises in glass gilding (or Verre Eglomise as it's also known). Using both traditional and modern gilding techniques to create intricate designs in gold, silver and copper leaf, I have been commissioned all over the world to create bespoke pieces - from standalone works of art, to decorative panels or unique pieces of furniture.
For the past 4 years, I have been sharing my knowledge of gilding on glass with students who range from absolute beginners to established gilders and artists who wish to take their skills to the next level.
It's a joy to share my years of experience in small, intimate classes and watch students fall in love with this beautiful craft.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Estitxu, the teaching focused on a specific process, which I was keen to explore. Estitxu guided me through the process with patience and enthusiasm; I came away feeling both confident and motivated to continue exploring the craft. I would recommend the course to anyone interested in having a go."
"Hi, the class was absolutely excellent. I really enjoyed Gilding on Glass with gold leaf as well as real silver leaf. I learnt how to make beautiful finishes as well as learned how to handle gold and silver leaf beautifully.
Do you take the course, as you will be extremely happy."
"One of my favourite workshops because it is unique and great fun and Estitxu is charming and welcoming. My Husband and I enjoyed learning various techniques with and without stencils. Estitxu is very experienced and is able to impart her knowledge with great patience and able adapt to each individual giving her full attention to each of us. I brought some stencils from my craft stash to use in some of my designs and experimented with both metal and plastic ones, although she has loads of plastic ones in the studio. Be prepared to get messy and enjoy yourself. We were given refreshments and well looked after. She gave me materials to take home to finish my fabulous artwork. "
"I had an excellent day at Estitxu's Gilding on Glass course and highly recommend it. In her studio I was surrounded by beautiful examples of her gilded glass art. With her extensive experience in gilding and teaching, it was a great pleasure to work and learn from her. Estitxu is very inspiring and patiently introduced me to the world of this beautiful craft with a wide range of techniques and creative applications. I am thrilled with the results; I created several pieces to take home.
It was wonderful meeting you, Estitxu. I feel truly lucky that I found your course! "
