Welcome to the extraordinary world of gilding art!

The workshop will offer a great chance to learn about old and new techniques of decorating objects with materials imitating gold under the supervision of an experienced gilding master. We will draw on the experience of generations of gilders, continuing the time-honoured tradition of the old masters. Participants will learn about the materials and tools necessary to gild a plaster cast, a painting base and glass. To achieve spectacular effects during the workshop exercises, we will use gold, silver, and copper-coloured Dutch gold metal flakes. Classes with aficionados will be a lesson in patience and sensitivity to beauty. Objects made during the workshop can become a nice souvenir or a precious gift for friends.
