    Hi Clementine,

    Thank you for your inquiry - There was a very famous talented Russian Plique-a-jour artist named Valerie Timofeev, who taught many classes and is work is in all the well known museums - Unfortunately he passed away -

    I would contact our member Ötvös Nagy Ferenc - who is a Hungarian Plique artist and uses twisted wire in the Hungarian style and I am sure he can offer you many good tips - https://www.otvosnagy.com/

     

    I will continue to look into this for you - thank you for your membership - Trish

    It was an article in the 'Glass on metal' magazine written by Timofeev, where he described his technique in detail. If you can find this old magazine - it would help. Even 'Glass on metal' is not published any longer - I believe - they can send a copy of an old magazine.

    I will look through the Glass on Metal library - I have the list and I will check this out - I love digging up great information. Thank you for all the replies you have made in General Discussions - I should make you an Administrator so that you can help me answer-
