What could be more complementary to your work than a bright burst of genuine gold? We will explore several methods of gilding that yield results comparable to those of ancient illuminators. In addition to gold, other types of metal leaf will also be dispensed and discussed to give you the broadest range of possibilities when thinking of applying metal leaf to paper. Part skill building, part laboratory, part creative exploration, and lots of good information—this workshop will provide you with what you need to get gilding!
