Gilding Class 2022-2023

Ever think about learning Gilding? You might want to conside the new class Gilding…for Absolute Beginners!

I have finally finished scheduling the entire year ahead with the Online classes I’ve been doing these last couple of years. Online has allowed me to work with over 600 students now from 24 different countries. The continued interested in this artform always amazes me as its been with us for over three thousand years.

I will also be teaching a few classes in New York throughout 2023 and heading there next month at the end of October. There are a few seats left for Traditional Water Gilding, Verre Églomisé/ Glass Gilding, and Gilding for Works of Art.

Available to commission, this five-horned rhinoceros beetle (Eupatorus gracilicornis) is an absolute unit. This beetle has a 14cm (5.5") wingspan, and fills my entire palm (see my stories for a pic). • If you would like to snap this guy up please read my 'commissions' post and then send me an email 🥰 • He's got another layer of good leaf to go, and I'm intending to gild the main horn too. He can go in a display dome or a custom made deep shadow box. All done in 24k leaf. • 🚫 Please do not repost without permission. • #skullpturas #goldleaf #seppleafproducts #24k #taxidermy #absoluteunit #rhinocerosbeetle #entomology #entomologist #maximalistinteriors #maximalism (at Norwich, Norfolk) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4mcCcdJti0/?igshid=12afso7xtocpx

The finials were sized with the oil and after they dried to a 'tack' the 23kt gold leaf went on. These will sit atop the gilded armoire. ~ #seppleafproducts #artfusionevent2018 #gildingartsnewsletter (at Charles Douglas Gilding Studio)

Oil gilding in progress! ...1. Washing the 23kt gold leaf with a soft mop and cold water to clean the gilding from skewings (residual pieces of gold leaf); 2. Tamping the gold with cotton (oil gilded leaf does not stain in the way that water gilded leaf can but you do want to tamp-out any water beading; 3. Three finials to be gilded and set atop the armoire; 4. Pedestal before and during gilding which the armoire will placed upon. ~ #seppleafproducts #artfusionevent2018 #gildingartsnewsletter (at Charles Douglas Gilding Studio)
