Artist Sudi Taleghani says, "My inspiration comes from culture and treasures found in everyday life. Creating in my studio located in a small California Coastal Fishing community gives me the freedom to create and enjoy the treasures of life. My goal is to bring to you Artful Tableware that is functional and can be treasured for years to come.
The two techniques I use to create each design on Spun , Fused, and Mouth Blown Glass are Reverse painting and Gilding. In Gilding I apply a Clear Varnish first then layer the Gold, Silver or Copper on the back of the glass, it is then sealed and goes into the kiln for several hours to set. Reverse painting is where all of the art is also done on the back of the glass while visualizing what the finished product looks like from the front, this is a very time consuming process, but well worth it, after all of the artwork is done again the piece is treated with heat and a clear coat."
