Gold Tooling / Gilding Workshop in Historic Sugartown’s Bindery

Historic Sugartown is excited to continue our specialized Gold Tooling / Gilding workshops in our series of Book Bindery workshops in 2020. Based on positive feedback, Colonial Williamsburg-trained instructor, Ramon Townsend of ColonialBindery.com, has developed this class to allow participants to focus on the specific technique of gold tooling. Using gold leaf, gold foil and bookbinding finishing tools, participants will learn traditional methods of designing and decorating leather in gold, the same way fine books were tooled hundreds of years ago. This is an introductory class and all skill levels are welcome to join.
