Description

We'll paint a miniature piece of art then learn how to bring some shine to our creations! Gold: the color of the gods and the pharaohs in ancient Egypt. For centuries, artists have used gold leafing to make their creations shimmer and shine. All it takes to make your art feel regal is a light, golden touch. Join us as we learn how to add a unique and beautiful metallic flare to artwork! In this workshop, artist Shirin Nikoukari shares the basics about modern applications of gold leaf and shows you how to apply it properly to your artwork. Students will learn about materials, difference between imitation and real gold leaf, material compatibility, and the most effective way to apply gold and other metal leaf so that it will last for years to come. This workshop includes all supplies and students will go home with their own gilded creations. ​ Workshop Info: Cost $95 (all supplies included)Saturday, December 4th from 10:30am-1:00pmMax 12 studentsAll skill levels welcome​Age level: adult (18 & up)Students are encouraged to bring snacks or a bagged lunch Welcome to Art on 30th, an art to market community dedicated to providing you with everything you need to find your unique visual voice and take your art from easel to market.    Art on 30th is a vibrant arts community in the heart of the North Park Arts and Culture District.  We offer classes, private studio space, regional and national shows  in a classic gallery setting.  We specialize in helping artists take their art to market.     Explore our website and join our mailing list to be up to date on all the opportunities available.
