gold leaf antique maps on handcrafted studio glass
17th century antique map of north america

The composition of an accurate world map was one of the great way stations of this noble challenge These century old maps have been reproduced on handcrafted studio glass and then backed by hand-applied gold leaf. This process is evocative of the blending of two of the most profound achievements in artisanship invented and perfected during the European renaissance in the 14th century on the Venetian island of Murano... the craft of glass making and the art of gilding.
