About

Studio Peascod is internationally recognised for leading the way in creating contemporary gilded glass produced exclusively by hand in their Somerset studios. Lead by a love of combining atmospheric textures and carefully selected materials, the studio’s myriad designs reimagine the traditional verre eglomise process of reverse glass gilding.

Emma Peascod founded the studio in 2011 shortly after returning from Japan where she learnt about traditional craft techniques from some of the country’s master craftspeople. She trained in the foundations of washi paper-making in Gifu prefecture a remote mountainous region of the country, and worked with ink painting sumi-e artists. Emma’s experiments with the delicate processes were formative in developing her distinct aesthetic identity. She later applied this training to develop new approaches to the traditional practice of verre eglomise.
