About
In this workshop, you will learn the heritage craft of gilding. You will gild an object, in this case two large scallop shells, and one small decorative shell. The shells can have many uses, such as trinket dishes or tealight holders, be given as gifts or used as part of an opulent festive display.
Scallop shells are part of our history, used as decorative forms and emblems, found in architecture, on pilgrimage trails, and in symbolism associated with the birth of Aphrodite.
Gilding is a process whereby metal leaf is applied, giving the object a shiny gold finish. Some may say too shiny, so you will also learn how to achieve a simple antique finish or patina, which you can achieve with the flick of a paintbrush.
