Introduction to Gilding with Lucy-Anne Bishop
Overview
Join Lucy-Anne Bishop in this delightful introduction to gilding workshop. You will embark on a creative journey into the elegant world of gilding. Learn the enchanting art of applying gold leaves to various surfaces as you craft a stunning piece to adorn your home. No prior experience is needed, as you will be guided through each step with patience and experience.
During the workshop, you will become acquainted with the different tools and techniques involved in the gilding process. Working with delicate imitation gold leaf, you will experience a sense of calm and accomplishment as you transform ordinary objects into shimmering masterpieces.
You'll start with gilding a wooden shape, from flowers to celestial shapes - perfect for hanging on your Christmas tree this year, or just adding some light to the darker evenings.
You'll be guided through the process, the materials, and the ways in which you can incorporate gilding into other art practices.
Once you've got to grips with the process, you'll be able to experiment with different textures. There will be a gorgeous selection of shells for you to play with, or you are welcome to bring your own small trinket to turn to gold - some favourites include Lego bricks and dried leaves.
By the end of the session, you will take home not only a beautiful gilded creation but also a newfound appreciation for this mesmerising craft. A perfect combination of creativity, learning, and joy in this gilding activity.
There will be a range of hot drinks and alcoholic refreshments for sale at the bar so you can make your experience even more magical!
