Course 2 – Reverse Glass Gilding & Classical Oil Gilding

Date: 11.10.2025

This course opens the golden window to history: Together we will dedicate ourselves to reverse glass gilding – a fascinating technique with centuries of tradition that today offers completely new possibilities thanks to modern materials and methods. In addition, you will get to know classic oil gilding – in glossy and matt versions. This technique is ideal for weather-resistant applications such as signs, ornaments or traditional art objects. In the course of the day, we will guide you through the selection of suitable carrier materials, the professional handling of oil mixtures and the design of reflective, deeply glowing gold surfaces behind glass. Error avoidance and tricks for optimal results are just as much a topic as insights into the practical experience of our master gilder Mr. Dietmar Feldmann.

The courses include consumables, food and drinks.
