Flubamo’s Lacquer Miniature, Layer by Layer
A Czech-language workshop journal follows the making of a lacquer miniature from pressed paper to polished black lacquer, tempera painting, gold, ornament, and final varnish.
Field notes
The journal treats the miniature as a layered material system rather than a decorative object alone. Its account specifies ten to twenty paper layers, pressure drying over several days, oil impregnation, repeated filling and sanding, and surface checks such as a water-drop test and inspection in angled window light. It also explains why premature work can cause later warping or lacquer delamination, giving the page practical value for readers studying traditional surface preparation.
