About the Event
Learn the most versatile and accessible type of gilding, mordant-size gilding, which uses either traditional oil or water-based acrylic sizes for adhering gold leaf to a substrate. Oil size is great for most applications and will be suitable for indoor and outdoor use, whereas acrylic, although quick and simple, has a limited and strictly interior use. Our main focus in this class will be on using oil size and accomplishing with it the following three gilding stages:
Surface preparation
Size application
Gilding with high karat gold leaf
Participants will use high karat gold leaf to gild several objects that have been produced and patterned by the MakerSpace 307 laser engraver and will get to take home their finished projects.
MEALS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED PLEASE BRING A SACK DINNER/LUNCH.
