Add a little shine to your life and your artwork as you learn to gild (the process of adding metal leaf and foil to various surfaces) on paper. While some mordants (the adhesive used to stick the leaf to a surface) are costly and synthetic, garlic juice is an effective, inexpensive, and very safe option. We will make garlic juice in class and learn how to use it to apply metal leaf to paper and create a gilded art piece.
