My personal Blog

A Gilder’s Journal, tells the story of some of my projects which stand out to me for various reasons, from water gilding to glass gilding and inbetween oddities; thoughts on gilding, and educational tips and tricks (a bit of the magic that we often speak of!) has been told for many years on the Blogger platform. I am happy to say that the Blog is in the process of navigating over to this website where you’ll be able to access all the previous posts from earlier writings along with the up-to-date stories yet to come. I hope you’ll find this helpful for your own journey.

For those interested in learning gilding (some say gold leafing, same thing when working with gold leaf!) please visit the section Book a Class to browse through the variety of gilding classes offered both online and in-person. You’ll find classes on water gilding, oil gilding, gilding for works of art, glass gilding/verre églomisé, and specialty Masterclasses such as Pastiglia, Sgraffito, and tutorials on Clay Bole and Laying Leaf.

Till soon…
