You will learn tips, tricks and techniques for using a traditional sign painting brush, learn how to transfer your pattern onto a surface, use gold leaf on your design and take away your own small wooden sign with you.
In the morning you will use practice sheets, draw out your chosen design and learn how to use gold leaf, and after lunch you will start to transfer your design onto your wooden board and gild it with gold leaf and paint it.
