Gilding Photo Workshop:
Add a Layer of Dazzling Golden Beauty to Your Photographs
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll transform your own photographs into luminous, gilded works of art. Using gold, silver, or copper leaf, you’ll create two original 5x5 pieces ready for framing or gifting.
We’ll start by printing your images in class and exploring a variety of translucent papers. You’ll then learn how to elevate your photos with metallic leaf—adding shimmering depth and elegance to your compositions.
In this workshop, you will:
See and compare real gold leaf, imitation gold leaf, copper leaf, and silver leaf
Learn about different papers and adhesives
Adjust your photographs for optimal results
Apply metallic leaf and finish your work with varnish and mats
Leave with a detailed PDF outlining the process, a materials list, and links to my favorite vendors
This workshop is open to both photographers and non-photographers. Whether you're a seasoned image-maker or simply curious about gilding, you'll walk away with new skills and radiant artwork.
What to Bring:
Please bring (or email in advance) 2–4 digital photographs you'd like to use in class.
