From Scottish River Gold to Ceramic Lustre: A Visual Guide
The Gold Lustre Project is very much a work in progress.
Making gold lustre from scratch is a fairly involved process, and unfortunately filming, editing and explaining it all takes almost as long as doing the chemistry itself! I’ll keep adding new videos as and when I get the time, gradually building this into a complete visual companion to the written Gold Lustre guide.
If you find the videos useful, please consider subscribing to the YouTube channel, leaving a comment or giving them a like. Apart from helping other people find the project, seeing that people are actually watching gives me a bit of motivation to keep dragging the camera into the workshop and making the bloody things.
Part 1: Gold Chloride
