Hand Skills for Laying Loose Gold Leaf »

Instructor: Jill London

Lynne Rutter Studio is pleased to host master gilder and exceptional teacher, Jill London, for this a special class of gold and metal leaf gilding.

Develop your hand skills with genuine and imitation gold leaf, using a gilder’s tip, a gilder’s knife, a skew brush and a gilding pad.
This class is geared to folks who want to learn skills in working with loose leaf and applying both quick and slow size on boards for future gilding work. This will be a two day class implementing gilding techniques and stencils. Students can use stencils provided and learn how to make their own stencils free hand. Each student will work on their own boards and complete at least two pieces which will serve to remind them of what is possible. Students will learn how to use both single and double tips and improve their methods for cutting and applying loose leaf to a flat surface.
Class is open to anyone who is interested in learning about the gilding arts as well as experienced gilders. If you want to becoming more proficient with loose leaf with a trained teacher with over 35 years experience as a professional gilder and painter, join this class!

Light, reflection and space created by using gold leaf and pigments all formed on planet earth.  My intention is to bring more light to a period in time where we all need it. These are interior mind landscapes.

The paintings and drawings are made using handmade materials. Egg tempera made with earth pigments, oak gall ink, and sumi ink sticks are just a few of the materials used to create these works on gold and silver leaf.
