• Explore the beauty and intrigue of translucent vellum paper.
• Discover tantalizing ways to apply imitation gold, and 24K gold leaf to your prints.
• Watch Dan demonstrate hand-applied gesso, a technique that gives your prints an enchanting luminosity. During the class you work along with Dan as you prepare your print and apply metal leaf. You’ll be thrilled with the wondrous look of your final prints.

2. Buy a can of archival acrylic spray - One can of Krylon acrylic spray should be purchased (an Amazon link will be provided) for about $9.
