In this two-day class, students will learn how to create crisp, precise incised lettering and enhance it with genuine gold leaf. Instruction will begin with the fundamentals of lettering design and layout, followed by the proper selection and use of carving chisels and gouges. Students will then carve their own lettering while developing greater accuracy and tool control. Once the carving is complete, Harold will demonstrate the age-old art of gilding with genuine 24-karat gold leaf. Each student will have the opportunity to apply gold leaf to their incised lettering, creating a striking and refined finished piece.
