Oil Gilding Workshops
Obsessed with Gilding? So are we!Expert gilder Melissa Goldman and I have added another weekend of workshops on the art of gilding, designed for professional decorative artists who want to add to and enhance their skills.
Traditional Oil Gilding --- 2 day Intensive Hands-on Workshop:
April 24-25, 2010 Saturday and Sunday
April 24-25, 2010 Saturday and Sunday
instructor: Melissa Goldman Gilding Conservator
Come and join us to learn the principles, properties and history of materials for traditional Oil Gilding!
This class will be specific to architectural gilding and three-dimensional objects such as furniture, frames, and objects d’art. You will learn how to properly prepare any surface to receive pure gold leaf or imitation leaf (Compositon/Dutch metal).
For this workshop, we will practice using both imitation gold and aluminum leaf. How to lay genuine gold and silver leaf, “surface” and “patent”, will also be demonstrated and discussed. Mica powders, hard-waxes, traditional sealants and patination materials and techniques will be demonstrated and applied.
Students with water gilding experience will learn how to add burnished “highlights” to their work.
Architectural moulding samples and carved objects will be provided to work on. Students may also bring in their own objects to review and/or work on.
Please join us for this fun, highly informative workshop!
