This course opens the golden gate to classic poliment gilding. In this course, participants learn traditional genuine poliment gilding, including the complete construction of a chalk base. Dietmar Feldmann reveals his original recipes, collected over 40 years, including the recipe for Cologne poliment. Course participants will gild themselves and then polish the gold leaf to a high shine with an agate stone. Error prevention and tricks for optimal results are also covered, as well as insights into the practical experience of our master gilder, Mr. Dietmar Feldmann.

The courses include consumables, food and drinks.

Immerse yourself in the world of contemporary gilding techniques! This is the advanced course to the seminar Modern Leaf Gilding Part 1. The course deepens the application possibilities of Cologne Instacoll and Permacoll and demonstrates further modern areas of use. The participants gild stucco elements in finishes ranging from matte to mirror gloss and learn their combined application. In addition, the participants metallize with composition metal and copper and learn how to properly protect them afterward with Cologne Zaponlack GL. You will learn how to optimally prepare substrates, process adhesives professionally, and apply metal leaf cleanly. Furthermore, we share valuable tips from everyday workshop practice with you and take time for individual questions and issues. This course is aimed at both beginners and experienced gilders who wish to deepen their knowledge and learn new techniques.
