Designed for collectors, restorers, homeowners, and dealers alike, this weekend-long workshop will focus on the restoration and conservation of gilded surfaces including frames, furniture, and architectural elements. We will review the basics of traditional water gilding and oil gilding techniques. Emphasis will be placed on identifying different types of gilding, including toned silver leaf gilding. Tools and materials will be reviewed. Replacement of missing ornamental elements through molding and casting techniques will be demonstrated. The visual integration of losses will be discussed as well as appropriate materials and techniques for toning and application of patina.

Participants are encouraged to bring a gilded object to the workshop. Professional touch up kits, brushes, tools, and gilding materials will be available for optional purchase.

“We had a fabulous time at the class and we now have the tools -or some of them- to have professional disagreements whenever we come across a frame that may be gilded or painted. We are better for the experience you have provided and we are already talking about building ourselves a studio to work in.”

"Just wanted to let you know that I just bought an old Weber piano that was made in 1898. I'm so excited that I have the equipment that you gave me to be able to clean the finish. For a person who doesn't like antiques, I am getting quite a collection. I have two now."
