Barry Morentz: Gold – Gilding & Gold for Calligraphers and Artists
About this Event
There’s a reason artists have been adding gold to manuscripts and lettering for centuries.
Nothing else quite does what gold does.
Join renowned New York calligrapher Barry Morentz for a full day devoted to bringing the richness, luminosity and timeless beauty of gold into your calligraphic work.
Barry will share practical techniques for incorporating gold with confidence, whether you dream of creating illuminated pieces, elevating commissioned work or simply adding a little brilliance to something you’ve created.
Barry has spent more than 45 years creating exceptional calligraphy. His clients have included Cartier, Rolex and Estée Lauder, while his work has also been commissioned by The New York Public Library, The Museum of Modern Art and Columbia University. With a background in medieval history and study with masters including Sheila Waters and Gottfried Pott, Barry brings both deep knowledge and genuine enthusiasm to the traditions behind the techniques he teaches.

If you’ve looked at gilded calligraphy and thought, I would LOVE to know how to do that…
