What you'll learn:
This course will dive deeper into the world of gilding!
- Sgraffito: The term sgraffito originates from the Italian, derived from the verb “graffiare”, meaning to scratch. In this technique, we'll learn to carefully scratch the leaf to reveal the underlying layer of color.
- Painting/Writing on Leaf: Gold and other metals can become a beautiful background to our artwork. We'll learn the tricks to getting paints/inks to cooperate when applied on top of leaf.
- Verre Églomisé is a French term that refers to an art form where precious metal leaf is applied to the reverse side of glass, etched, and backed with paint and varnish. Patti will give an introductory demonstration of this technique.



Discover the world of glass gilding!
