Gilding Education

In-person and online ZOOM classes!

Teachers and Presenters representing Europe, Middle East, Canada and the United States

By fostering excitement and exploration, the symposium aims to preserve and promote this traditional craft while nurturing its continued evolution.

The mission of the Global Gilders Symposium is to gather professional and master gilders from around the world to share their expertise and passion for the art of gilding.

Through in-person classes and online options held over a three-week period, gilders in various locations offer comprehensive workshops to inspire and educate
a younger generation of creative individuals in the field of gilding and decorative arts.
