A one-of-a-kind gold leaf piece and a technique you can keep using long after the workshop ends.
About This Event
In this beginner-friendly session, you'll build a piece like the one shown: a deep indigo night sky, a luminous gold leaf moon with real dimensional texture, and delicate ink-lined blooms trailing down in soft metallic stems. Early Bird Pricing available
You'll work directly with genuine gold leaf, learning how to apply adhesive size, lay and burnish the leaf for that signature crackled shimmer, and seal it so it lasts. From there, you'll hand-illustrate botanical linework with petals, stems, and star-like dots. All layered on top of your gilded base to bring the whole piece to life.
What to Expect
- A guided, step-by-step process: every technique demonstrated before you try it, so you're never guessing
- Hands-on practice with real gold leaf: sizing, application, burnishing, and sealing
- All materials provided: canvas board, gold leaf, adhesive, acrylics, and fine-line pens
- Time to personalize your floral composition: this isn't a paint-by-numbers class, your piece will be your own
- A finished, gallery-ready artwork you take home the same day
- No experience necessary. Bring your curiosity and steady hands
Tea and lemonade complimentary!
