This workshop is your chance to learn the traditional art of gilding on glass.
You'll start by gaining hands-on experience with the essential tools such as the gilding cushion, point and knife. Under Estitxu's expert guidance, you'll master the delicate technique of applying shimmering sheets of gold and silver leaf to glass.
Once you've got the basics down, it's time to get creative! You'll experiment with distressing the metal leaf to create a range of stunning finishes, each adding a unique texture and character to your work. Then let your imagination run wild as you learn to design and draw intricate patterns on the gold-plated surface, transforming it into a piece of art that's uniquely yours.
At the end of the workshop, you'll have a sparkling creation to take home. Join Estitxu for a session of art and discovery!
