Whether you're a student who is just learning the art of gilding or a project manager troubleshooting a large-scale gilding project, talking through your questions can be a cost effective approach for problem-solving.

The 5 hour Block is intended for the company or Individual who seeks more in-depth training in gilding that goes beyond a brief Consultation and is similar in concept to a private class and is intended to be taken in daily segments not to exceed 2 hours daily.

The cost-effective five hour block includes simultaneous training for up to 5 employees. Recordings of each Online Zoom session may be viewed by up to the same five employees for six (6) months beginning at the conclusion of the first session. Consultation may be conducted solely by phone, Online Zoom, or a combination of the two including Conference calls set up by the customer for their staff up to five employees.
