Gold Foil Art Workshop – A Hands-On Creative Escape
I attended a gold foil workshop in Bangalore—and walked away with a new favorite medium. Here’s a glimpse into the experience.
Where It All Happened
The workshop was held at Social, Indiranagar—a cozy, vibrant space filled with natural light, great coffee, and lots of creative energy. The session was hosted by ArtNerd India, known for their hands-on art events across the city.
Learning the Craft
During the workshop, participants were introduced to the basics of gold foil work. From transferring the design to carefully applying the foil, every step was explained with patience and clarity. Materials were provided, including:
- Black canvas bases
- Adhesive glue for foil
- Gold foil sheets
- Stencil references and brushes
By the end of the session, Anisha had completed a gold foil lotus—elegant, symmetrical, and full of meaning. It now lives proudly on her studio wall.
Why Try a Workshop?
Workshops like this aren’t just about the final artwork. They’re a chance to slow down, meet like-minded people, and rediscover the joy of making something with your hands.
If you’ve never worked with gold foil before, this technique is easier than it looks—and very rewarding. Highly recommended for artists looking to explore textures and metallic finishes.
