Gilding Workshop

September 26 @ 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
$85

This workshop is a hands-on introduction to gilding – the application of real gold leaf to paper.

Nothing compares to the shimmer of real gold. Whether it is used for tiny, brilliant accents, decorative flourishes, or traditional illuminated letters, it will enhance your projects in a way nothing else can.

In this workshop, you will learn the essential elements of successful gilding, including paper choices for different effects and surface preparation techniques. You will also explore adhesive mediums for flat and raised gilding, along with their application methods and drying times. Instructor, Patricia Wilcock will demonstrate the types of gold and metal leaf available and you will learn how to work with them. Guided exercises will lead you through each step of completing a gilding project. You will also learn troubleshooting techniques to repair your work when needed, so you can leave the workshop ready to start your own exploration of gilding with confidence.
