June Workshop: Beginner’s Introduction to Gilding with Evelyn Wong

June 6th, 13th & 20th (Saturdays)
10:00am to 12:00pm PDT
$145 USD
*All sessions are recorded for later viewing and available for 90 days!!!
This workshop is perfect for those who are trying out gilding for the first time, or for those who want to get a deeper insight and broaden their gilding techniques. We will take things at a slower pace so we can work through each step and procedure together. We will explore different gilding mediums (Gum Ammoniac, Ormoline, Miniatum Ink, Instacoll) and what effects they produce on different types of paper as well as techniques on raised and flat gilding. We will also work through creating 1-2 gilded letters together so you will go away feeling comfortable with making your own gilded pieces.
* The items in highlights are especially for our classes…

This class explores the possibilities of the monoline letterform through a series of exercises designed to help students see letters as shapes with positive and negative space. We will play with monoline gestural writing and distorted (or funky!) upper and lowercase letters.
Along the way, we’ll pay attention to the beauty of the negative space between the forms and learn some simple ways to emphasize that space through color and value. Composition and layout will also be given high priority in all the exercises.
