ART OF GLASS

Hand-paint clear vases and jars with delicate and sprawling grass motifs using specialist paint and a fine acrylic brush.

Place the patterns randomly in one or two colourways – yellow ochre and burnt sienna create a modern country look. Once dry, add a few short stems of grass and dried cow parsley.
