Introduction to leaf gilding

Discover the magic of gilding and reveal the brilliance of your creations in Mesnil-Sellières. Spend an afternoon immersed in refined, accessible craftsmanship, and learn the precise gestures of traditional gilding in a warm, relaxed atmosphere.

At the workshop, you start with a presentation of the tools and materials used by gilding craftsmen. You’ll soon get down to the nitty-gritty of gilding with mixtion. Guided step by step, you prepare your support, be it a plant or a small object, then carefully apply the mixtion. Then comes the key moment: the delicate application of the gold leaf, a precise and fascinating gesture that gives your creation its full dimension.

During these two hours, you progress at your own pace in a friendly atmosphere, conducive to exchange and creativity. A gourmet break featuring local products punctuates the experience, adding an authentic, tasty touch to this timeless moment. You’ll leave with your own golden object, a tangible reminder of your discovery and newly acquired know-how.

Accessible to all, this workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn an exceptional art, to create with your own hands and to experience an authentic moment. Reserve your place and let yourself be seduced by the elegance of gilding.
