Richard Walker Mastergilder uit de UK geeft deze cursus traditionele poliment vergulding, ook bekend als watervergulden, deze verguldmethode geldt binnen het vakgebied als de meest verfijnde en traditionele verguldtechniek. Het wordt beschouwd als het hoogtepunt van het verguldersambacht. Het bijzondere aan deze methode is de mogelijkheid om een uiterst dunne laag bladgoud achteraf tot een spiegelende hoogglans te polijsten. Dit polijsten gebeurt met een agaatsteen, een halfedelsteen. In de cursus werkt u uitsluitend met traditionele grondstoffen, zoals krijt, bolus (een specifieke kleisoort) en gelatine. Cursisten leren de authentieke recepten te bereiden, de materialen te mengen en deze correct op de ondergrond aan te brengen. Dit wordt gevolgd door het eigenlijke vergulden, waarbij het bladgoud vakkundig gesneden en aangebracht wordt.
