Course Overview
Add a luminous new dimension to your prints in this inspiring one-day course. You’ll be introduced to a simple, accessible technique for applying metal leaf to ready-made prints, opening up fresh creative possibilities without the complexity of traditional gilding.
Working with metal leaf rather than genuine gold, you’ll learn how this versatile material can bring depth, contrast, and a quiet sense of luxury to your work. Gilding has long been used to elevate imagery, and even a subtle application can add richness, elegance, and visual presence.
Perfect for artists and printmakers looking to experiment, this course offers practical skills you can immediately incorporate into your own practice, leaving you with work that catches both the light and the eye.
