  Join APT WGLC for a Hands-On Gilding Workshop at Daprato Rigali Studios

  Join APT WGLC for a hands-on workshop focused on gilding application and repair at Daprato Rigali Studios. Daprato Rigali will present, demonstrate, and provide a hands-on workshop on the process of restoring gilded architectural elements. Attendees will gain an understanding of investigating, documenting, repairing, and replicating historic gilding. We will also learn about factors to consider in developing treatment options and conducting mockups.

  We’ll end the event with an open house of Daprato Rigali’s studio, with light refreshments provided by Daprato Rigali.

  Daprato Rigali Studios is a 5th generation family-owned studio specializing in gilding, mosaics, stained glass, wood, marble, and decorative painting.
