About this Event

The perfect workshop to ring in the Christmas Spirit! Learn the art of contemporary gilding by gilding a picture frame with Dutch Gold, and adding your own unique gilded flair to a Christmas ornament of your choice.

You will be taught about the art of gilding, how it has changed over time and how you can use it in your own home to give anything a new gilded sparkle.

💖 Why this workshop is so special:

  • Gilding is a mindful, meditative craft that can positively enhance your life.

  • Your gilded Christmas ornaments are unique personalised pieces of art that make perfect gifts for Christmas.
