A four-day class designed for anyone who is interested in water gilding and wants to learn more to improve their skills. The object we will gild from start to finish will be a wood picture frame.
Students will learn to prepare rabbit skin glue, chalk gesso, bole, gilding liquor and toners. These materials will be applied as a demonstration and each student will work on his/her own frame. Genuine gold leaf will be used and we will learn how to gild out of a book of gold. We will discuss various techniques and open up discussions about other types of gilding options and how to incorporate gilding into your work.
