The Sepp Gilding Workshop is a complete, easy to use system for producing a magnificent gilded piece. Created by the industry source for leaf and gilding supplies, this kit introduces artists and hobbyists to the ancient art of gilding.
Gilding is the adornment of a specially prepared surface with gold or metal leaf. The tissue thin leaf produces a glowing surface unachievable by any other method and transforms the ordinary into the remarkable. A little practice and care will result in a lustrous gilded surface.
Easy to follow, step by step instructions and specially selected materials make it possible to beautifully gild a hobby project, family treasure, or decorative accent for the home. Basic surface finishing procedures and practice will result in a lustrous gilded surface.
The GILDING PROJECT KIT contains the required tools and materials to produce outstanding results. The gilding primer included will work in harmony with the color of the selected variety of leaf.
