A70 Beginner Gold Leafing

Have you ever finished a piece and felt like something was missing? Maybe it needs a little razzle dazzle! You will learn about the history of gold leafing, how to prepare surfaces and pieces for gold, and then the actual process of leafing. You will learn how to use sizing adhesive, apply leaf, burnish, and seal it all. You will leave with extra materials, a “final project,” and enough experience to experiment on your own!

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

ArtTrax: Painting III

This course builds on the knowledge of the previous two courses, as well as introduces new topics such as how to create depth, basic perspective, and additional techniques. Students will have independent time to create a finished work of art or to get one on one help. Bemis ArtTrax is a new curriculum created to provide equitable and accessible pathways to the arts. ArtTrax courses introduce the fundamental concepts of painting, drawing, and sculpting through a series of engaging exercises. Emphasis is not on producing finished works of art but rather on developing a basic skill set through practice and repetition. Ages 16-Adult
