Materials Lists and Gilding Recipes
Please Download The Lists & Recipes
Associated With Your Class Below.
For students interested in purchasing gilding tools, click on the link for the suggested gilding kit for your class which contains the gilding tools and essential materials (note: there is a good summary to read about the gilding kits if you scroll down on the Resources Page). For those taking more than one class, choose one kit and purchase the additional materials or tools needed for the other classes separately.
For those who do not need gilding tools at this time, many of the essential materials for classes such as calcium carbonate, clay bole, sizes and rabbit skin glue may be purchased separately as shown on the same gilding kit page at Gilded Planet. (Note: For International shipments, consider customs fees and taxes when purchasing.)
For suggestions concerning other required materials such as raw wood picture frame and architectural mouldings, canvas boards, deckled edged paper, etc. visit the Gilding Resources page in the gilding studio website Navigation Bar.
