Gilt Leather and Leather Gilding

Explore one of the most decorative and historically rich traditions in leatherwork. This specialist workshop introduces participants to the art of gilt leather, a technique with roots in Renaissance Europe, through hands-on practice with gilding materials, tools, and processes.

Whether you are drawn by the history, the craft, or simply the beauty of the results, this is a rare opportunity to work with a technique that sits at the intersection of fine art and material heritage. No prior experience required, all materials provided.
