Embarking on the journey of traditional water gilding may take time, but the rewards are truly remarkable and far more economical than contemporary alternatives. Begin by making your gesso, followed by one or two layers of clay, known as bole. This crucial step not only prepares the surface but also allows you to achieve an unparalleled shine by polishing the gold with an agate stone burnisher. The result? A stunning, lustrous gold finish that will leave a lasting impression. Experience the timeless beauty of water gilding and elevate your projects to extraordinary levels!
