Learn how to use genuine gold leaf on glass to transform your artistic vision to gold

My Gilding Journey

Hi, I'm Marybeth Ting.

As a passionate verre églomisé artist with over 10 years of experience, I know the frustration of trying to find resources to learn this craft. When I first discovered glass gilding, information was scarce, and finding people to teach the art form felt impossible. But after years of searching and dedication, I found my way into the Society of Gilders, an incredible community of fellow gilding enthusiasts.

I have spent the past decade honing my skills and experimenting with new techniques, perfecting my craft and developing my own unique style. And now, I am excited to share my knowledge and expertise with others through my online verre églomisé course.

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive and detailed foundation for anyone looking to learn about glass gilding. Whether you are an experienced gilder or are just starting out, this course is tailored to meet the needs of each individual student. I will be sharing the lessons I've learned over the years, providing you with the tools and skills you need to create your own unique and beautiful gilded artwork.

If you want to be a part of a timeless art form and want to explore the beauty of verre églomisé, I invite you to register for my online course today. With my guidance and expertise, you'll create your own stunning gilded artwork in no time.

"Marybeth is well organized, patient, and teaches from her depth of experience. Like the best of teachers, she can not only tell you how to gild the right way, but she can tell you the mistakes to avoid, and how to fix them when you make them; which you probably will."

—Naomi Lipsky, President of Society of Gilders
