Gilding is the traditional technique of applying thin sheets of gold, silver or copper to a painted surface. For centuries, artisans have cultivated a mystique surrounding the application of metal leaf and the beautiful finishes that are the result. The materials in this kit will allow you to capture the magical glow that only comes by using real metal.


What makes using this kit so simple? First, our Basecoat sticks to almost anything including previously painted surfaces, wood, metal, plastic, bricks, concrete…maybe even a pumpkin! Second, we use the leaf in a way that is easy to handle and creates spectacular finishes.

The world is going to be a more glittery place!!
