Contemporary Gilding on Paper, Wood and Fabric

This workshop will introduce students to a contemporary approach to the traditional technique of gilding (the process of applying metal leaf to a surface). Over two days, participants will learn the process of preparing different material surfaces (paper, fabric, wood) so that metal leaf can be applied and incorporated into visual compositions. This technique can be used by students of all skill levels.
