The student will take away from this workshop the basics in gilding techniques and will be able to utilize this medium for a variety of personal creative projects. Participants should bring their personal art tools and a project(s) to work on. Beginners will be supplied a project to complete. Metal Leaf, sizing and other tools will be provided by instructor.
