Kölner Gilding Workshop 26th January 2019
This is a great opportunity to learn the technique behind high quality gilding using Kölner gilding sizes and products.
The wide range of Kölner's gilding products will enable you to produce mirror finish gilding on any project, indoors or
outdoors. Learn to gild on any surface, including flexible surfaces, using Kölner products. Using Kölner Miniatum you
can create a gilded finish that can stretch and flex without cracking! A perfect fit for gilding on textiles or canvasses.
Also demonstrated will be Kölner's best kept secret, a product that can be used to crate the best oilgilded finish you’ve
ever seen! It
looks like water gilding and is highly scratch resistant!
Learn how to use it during this workshop!
Kölner, and it’s gilding products, have a pedigree going back decades. Numerous prestigious projects have been
completed in Germany using their products, particularly their Instacoll range, over the last 25 years. Your gilding using
Instacoll will stand the test of time!
The course will be run by Richard Walker from Watergild Studios in conjunction with Gold Leaf Supplies.
Cost
of £99.00 per person to be paid directly to Watergild
Studios.
Included in this price will be:
• Kit of all the materials you will need to use for the day and then to take away with you afterwards
• Light lunch
• Refreshments throughout the day
• Hands on tuition of all Kölner techniques by UK Kölner expert, Richard Walker
