Titling in Gold with Egg Glaire
Dates: Saturday, June 20th & Sunday, June 21st (2 meetings)
Hours: 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Instructor: Ariana Rutledge BB '22
Students will learn the basics of direct gold tooling with egg glaire from a historical trade-style approach. They will learn how to set their type and how to mark up the surface of their leather, along with many other tips and tricks. The skills learned in this class, although directly related to a quicker, trade bindery method, can be helpful to any type of gold finishing work. Success as a finisher comes only with significant practice and patience; the goal of this class is to provide students with the opportunity to get a feel for the process so that they are equipped to continue to practice on their own.
Tools & Supplies: * Please bring a notebook, pencil, and a leather book you'd like to tool (not required - practice spines will be provided). All other tools and supplies will be provided for this class.
Attire: Students should bring an apron, smock, or wear clothing that they don't mind getting dirty.
Prerequisite: None
Age Requirement: Students must be ages 18+ by the class start date to attend adult CE classes. No one under 18 years old is permitted to register for an adult class, even if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
