GOLD LEAF WORKSHOP

Come to a once in a lifetime workshop with master craftsman and nationally acclaimed artist
Alan Shuptrine! Shuptrine is known for his master craftsmanship in fine framing, carving,
sgraffito designs, and gilding with gold leaf. The lost art of water gilding is an ancient
technique, perfected over thousands of years. Learn the historical background of
this lost art of water gilding and discuss the art of the frame by taking a tour through the
museum’s collection and viewing frames on display. Then head to the classroom and learn
water gilding with 22 Kt. genuine gold leaf. The application of gold leaf will be covered in
depth, and students will practice their skills of laying leaf, as well as techniques of burnishing,
patination, and sgraffito etching into the gilded surface. At the end of the class, students will
leave with their own water gilded and finished frame.  For questions, please call the museum at 256.535.6372.  You can register by clicking HERE
