This is a hands-on class where all students will receive sample boards that they will gild with genuine 22 karat leaf as well as copper, silver and Dutch metal leaf. On the first day students will work with the traditional oil size method of gilding. Students will also explore creative gilding techniques, such as the Japanese Notan method, of balancing positive and negative spaces.

These techniques are very comprehensive and not just limited to woodworkers.
