The Art of Gilding
an Evening with Fallon & Wilkinson
Salem, CT (June 2009) – The Gilded Edge Custom Framing and Gallery is pleased to host “An Evening with Fallon & Wilkinson- The Art of Gilding” on Thursday,
June 11 at 7pm.
Gilding is the technique of applying a thin layer of gold to a surface, using materials and techniques that have remained relatively unchanged for centuries. Tad Fallon and Randy Wilkinson, both trained at the Smithsonian Institution's prestigious Furniture Conservation Training Program, will
lead a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the techniques of traditional water and oil gilding.
Fallon and Wilkinson bring a combined 20 years of training and experience in the conservation of furniture, wooden artifacts, and interior woodwork, blending old world craftsmanship with modern conservation practices. Tad completed a conservation fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York City and holds a Master's Degree in Conservation from Antioch University in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Randy completed fellowships at the Preservation Society of Newport County in Rhode Island and the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut and holds a Master's Degree in Conservation from Antioch
University in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
