Join us for a small group, hands-on workshop to learn the ancient art of verre églomisé with Odd Salon Fellow Lynne Rutter In this class we’ll delve into some gilding history, while learning how to mirror glass the historic way, with finely beaten sheets of gold. The practice of gilding dates back to at least 3000 BC, and can be found in tomb decorations, ornamentation, furniture and frames, and in works of religious and fine art. Gilded glass goes back to 1st century BC and maybe even further. Not much survives, as these pieces were delicate.  What we now call “verre églomisé  is a set of techniques that were only rarely used until the 18th century when a decorator and framer named Jean Baptiste Glomy became famous for gilded glass frames and mirrors. People began to say the glass has been “Glomy-fied” or églomisé. Glass gilding and back-painting glass was generally limited to clock cases and small items, until the mid-19th century when signwriters started making elaborate gilded glass signs to catch the light and attention for shops. Today, the practice of gilding still follows historical practices, handed down through generations of artisans. Ticket price includes supplies for the workshop, and everyone will go home with a fine art ornament of their own making. Create gilded Harvey ornament, or select an idea from designs we will have on hand. Lynne Rutteris a Fellow of Odd Salon, and is a fine art muralist and decorative painter based in San Francisco, whose work emphasizes site-specific design and authentic materials and techniques. She has been an active part of the design community for over 35 years and has completed hundreds of installations nationally and internationally. Gilding has played an important role in Lynne’s work whether in restoration, ornamentation, or her large-scale paintings. You can see more of Lynne’s work on her blog The Ornamentalist where she writes about the finer points of color and décor, and her adventures while traveling with her camera.

Museums

Science & technology museums

136***99

It is a very worthwhile place to visit. I wonder why domestic museums cannot be like this, focusing on knowledge acquisition, without the messy rings, children&#39;s electric cars, and &quot;Dad&#39;s dad is grandpa&quot;

Golden Gate Park

Family-friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Golden Gate Bridge

Came here on September 24, 2017.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known tourist attraction in the United States. If you come to San Francisco, you must check in at the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are many bridges in China that are more majestic than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, just take a tourist photo near the Golden Gate Bridge to say &quot;I&#39;ve been here&quot;. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go early, otherwise when the sun sets, the photos will be backlit.
