Making a Cutler Holder and decorating it with Pewter
A few people attended the class on "How to decorate a wooden item with pewter, and also how to make your own glass tiles". This is the sampe that I made for the class.
Glass Tiles
After cleaning each tile,we cut out and glued a small image from a serviette, onto the back of the tile.
Cutlery Holder
Everyone painted their wooden item with acrylic paint, and let it dry.
A piece of pewter was cut to fit onto one side of the cutlery holder, then an image was traced onto it, and using an embossing tool, the image was gently raised.
The pewter was treated with patina, and then the black was rubbed off with brasso cleaner. The treated pewter was glued onto the wooden base.
The glass tiles were glued onto the wooden base in position.
