Paper & Ink Arts will be the vendor for the week. We will have all the supplies you may need for your classes. Pre-orders for this conference are closed.
Playing with 24 Karat Gold by Harvest Crittenden – Level: All levels welcome.
In this workshop we will focus on the wonderful modern materials for gilding available to us now that the scribes of old would have loved! We will work our way through flat gilding using Speedball Mona Lisa size, to raised gilding with Instacoll, and finally combining flat and raised gilding together with a simple border in a piece that is sure to wow!. You will have the skill to add touches of gold to all your work and kick it up a notch; great for you and for your clients.
I will demonstrate the use of traditional gesso, how to apply it and take it to a bright mirror finish with gold. While gesso gilding is more specialized, there is a rich glow and patina when gold is applied that lasts for centuries. I will bring some illuminated manuscript pages from the 1400’s to inspire you.
We’ll have little flakes of gold flying and have a great time! For all skill levels.
And the materials list follows. It is my preference not to purchase the certain materials for students and have them pay me, so I have included those items on their list.

- Small piercing awl
- Small double ball stylus
- Dappen dish clear
- Monogram Princeton brush
