Level 0 – This class is for the true beginner with no prior experience in the medium.

Have you ever gotten to the end of a piece and felt like something was missing? Maybe it needs a little razzle dazzle! You’ll learn about the history of gold leafing, how to prepare surfaces and pieces for gold, then the actual process of leafing. Aka how to use sizing adhesive, apply leaf, burnish, and seal it all. Join us and learn how to make your 2D visual art come to life!
