World Wide Gilding Workshop

Post by John Studden »

I would like to announce that myself and Dave Smith will be holding
Worldwide Gilding Workshops.

Many people have traveled to England to participate in one of my traditional Gilding Workshops, but because of space limitations only a couple at a time could be accommodated........
John and I are combining our experience to run a week long Reverse glass Gilding Workshop in California for up to 20 students of the Gilding Arts to take part in an incredible learning experience . Here is your opportunity to work with two experienced gilders, learning their tricks and knowledge of this craft.
The workshop will take place in Bakersfield ,CA at Dean Ross's Esoteric Gold Company, spiritual home of the California Conclave, a premier yearly gathering of Gilders dedicated to the art of gilding and in honour of the late Rick Glawson.
This is a fully equipped teaching facility that can accommodate 30 students or more. This is a great opportunity to learn all the traditional Gilding techniques needed to produce successful professional high end projects. Learning from people who have produced many art commissions for companies & individuals such as Jameson Whiskey, Disney ,John Mayer ,Burberry, Kings of Leon, to name just a few.

This is the Inaugural workshop in an ongoing worldwide series, everything you have wanted to know, all the techniques & tricks to produce stunning Victorian effects on Glass, an opportunity of a lifetime awaits you…For full details on these workshops please contact Dean Ross at atlsigns@msn.com
