Career: Gilding
Gilding is the process of applying a thin layer of gold or other metal to a surface for decorative purposes. It involves preparing the surface, applying a base layer such as adhesive or size, and then carefully laying the gold leaf or metal sheet onto it, often using tools like brushes or burnishers to achieve a smooth finish. Skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail are essential for a high-quality gilded surface.
