Traditional Water
Gilding
Workshop Fee: $375.00 (includes all materials & supplies)
The return of this popular two-day intensive workshop introduces the student
to the traditional method of water gilding. Students are guided through each of the steps including preparation of gesso and
clay bole grounds, laying of genuine 23k gold leaf, burnishing, and toning. The oil gilding method will also be discussed
as well as an overview of patination principles. Handouts, including recipes, a bibliography of educational materials, and
a supplier list will be provided. Each student will gild his or her own picture frame to take home. Traditional water gilding
is designed for use on wood and may be used for such objects as frames, furniture, and architectural elements.

Oil Gilding…and
other Mordants
Workshop Fee: $175.00 (includes all materials)
Mordant gilding, the application of any of a variety of binders onto a prepared ground to adhere gold leaf, is
a centuries old gilding technique. Many examples can be found in Cennini’s 15th c treatise “Il Libro
dell’ Arte”, including the preparation of oil size.
Students are guided through the oil gilding process as used for applying gold, silver, and other metal leaves to
frames, furniture, and decorative objects. Other suitable materials for oil gilding include glass and stone.
Each student is provided an unfinished picture frame to gild and take home, using an acrylic emulsion mordant and
brass leaf. Students also participate in a hands-on oil gilded class project using genuine 23k gold leaf.
