My name's Paul and I'm a Reverse Glass Sign Painter from Norwich England. I created this channel to share all of my techniques for creating ornamental glass signs and mirrors. From Victorian techniques like Reverse Painting, Glue Chipping and Gold Leaf, to file prep in Industry standard software packages like Photoshop, Illustrator & Vinylmaster. This channel is aimed at beginners and I want to show that anyone can create beautiful pieces regardless of perceived artistic talent.

This is such horse shit a guy puts this kinda stuff out there for the world to see and and he had to quit making video cause people would rather watch reaction videos to his videos...yeah that makes sense
I've just found you and now realised that you've finished. I am a specialist Decorator and do gilding aswell, but nobody ever shares skills they always gatekeep and the courses cost so much money. Thanks so much for sharing I will be going through them bit by bit. Good luck with your endeavours 😊
This is amazing. Made my evening finding you. Starting a new job after being off for a bit and so much to buy... Seeing this has made me feel like I could make a few bits like the pad. Think I'd need to make a guard aswell but honestly food for thought ❤
I found your channel in my feed because I have been searching for tutorials on ways to apply gilding to a vintage velvet fabric for a Victorian style keepsake box I will be making for a dear friend. Your work is gorgeous! This piece is very beautiful! So glad I found you, and I subscribed immediately! Thank you so much! Truly inspirational! Lisa
Thank you very much for the kind words, I’m really glad you’re enjoying the videos! I’ve never gilded on fabric before so I don’t have any tips unfortunately, but it sounds like a beautiful project so please share some pics of the finished piece because I’d love to see it :)
i didnt know what scrolls were called for weeks and this popped up and YES YES FINALLY. i was self teaching myself how to make them, so i think i already have a strong start ;p
Thank you so much! I've been saving to buy a kit for ages, and I don't know why I never thought that I could make a gilders cushion myself. I have a tip for raised illumination, which is a piece of thin plastic stapled to a piece of cardboard, and it works brilliantly. Not sure how it would work on a larger scale for a full leaf, but great for smaller pieces.
@happy gilder excellent video Paul, i was actually preparing to try this method out but with Nazdar 59000 series so that was great insight about the 6100 will give it a go as well. what I am curious about is through this process could you apply hydrofluoric acid to this image you just screened to create an embossed effect version of this piece?
Thank you! If you wanted to acid etch it you'd need to use an acid resistant paint called Asphaltum (Brunswick Black). It would resist the acid and it's removable with white spirit
I'm sorry, but one unrelated question. Etching with hydrofluoric acid requires mica. Is there anything else that comes into consideration instead of mica and can you explain a little about it. Of course, thanks for a lot of ideas and great work.
I have watched your stuff and I think you are a true artist. You do amazing work. I don't think you give yourself enough credit.If I could do a quarter of what you do I would be so happy. Yes this piece is amazing but almost all of your work is amazing.
Hi, you mention 'kit' a number of times. Are the chemicals available as a complete kit, if so where does one purchase it, or if individual chemicals, where did you purchase them? How do you remove the old silvering? And how can you tell if the original coating is silver or aluminium oxide? Thanks in advance.
Hello I have watched your video on this but I only have gimp, affinity photo and affinity designer. Would you be able to do a tutorial for any of those?
Hello my friend Your trainings are great We poured the glue and it dried, what should be the appropriate temperature and humidity level for it to break, what kind of cabin can I make?
Thank you! I'm not sure about humidity levels. I live in the UK where it isn't a problem so I've never built a chipping box. If you ask the question on the Facebook group I'm sure someone will be able to help. There are people on there from all over the world
I came across your videos and i liked the way you explained and showed everything along the way. You have a great talent and i truly appreciate all time and effort you put into all you great content.
Just came across your videos Paul and was so inspired by your talent , skill set and professionalism. Sorry to see you go. Hope you can get the flooding insure under control. Best wishes in your future endeavours. An admirer from Canada!
@happygilder que trabalho maravilhoso! Aqui no Brasil não encontro onde ensina a fazer isso! Sei parte de como fixar a folha de ouro, e o estêncil adesivo mas não o restante. Certas partes do seu processo de confecção eu não entendi. Como a cola de lascar deu aquele efeito "craquelado" ? Não quebra o vidro todo? Precisa necessáriamente jatear o vidro ou pode ser feito sem jatear? Esquenta ou esfria ela para craquelar? Agradeço o vídeo e as respostas. (Desculpe, tradução pelo google) @happygilder what a wonderful job! Here in Brazil I can't find a place to teach how to do this! I know part of how to attach the gold leaf, and the adhesive stencil but not the rest. Certain parts of your making process I didn't understand. How did the chipping glue give that "cracked" effect? Doesn't it break all the glass? Do you need to sandblast the glass or can it be done without sandblasting? Do you heat it or cool it to crackle? Thank you for the video and the answers. (Sorry, google translation)
Thank you! The glass must be sandblasted for the glue to work. As it shrinks it grips the etched glass and creates the patterns. If you don't have a sandblaster you can get a half decent chip using a rotary tool. I made a video about this process: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jMZuSIynl94.html
@@happygilder ohhhh muito obrigado! Gostei de saber! Pinto letreiros, e fazer adesivos de corte são fáceis em lojas especializadas, mas gostaria de saber algo mais manual e exclusivo. Novamente, obrigado! @happygilder ohhhh thank you so much! I liked to know! I paint signs, and making cut stickers is easy in specialized stores, but I would like to know something more manual and exclusive. Thank you again!
