Leather Armour, Costume for Ren Events, SCA, Larp, Cosplay - "Gilding: Gold Leaf"
Without question, one of my absolute favourite techniques to use, and a massive favourite with my clients GILDING.... Yes, this is always going to be one, that's going to need mastering very much like hand tooling, but Yes, this is always going to be one, that's going to need mastering very much like hand tooling, but in just the same way, this finish can add so much to the final look of any piece. It's why clients pay me thousands of dollars just to take that extra time to go through this process.Most certainly one worth spending the time to master announce with everything speed (or rather lack of it) is the key to success.

A graduate of the Italia Conti Academy, I started my career as a child actor before finding my true passion in re-enactment, Renaissance Faires, and LARP. Moving to Chichester 20 years ago, I began my journey as a leatherworker, armourer, and costumer. Surrounded by history and inspired by Hollywood epics, I pursued my dream despite the lack of guidance in the industry. As an entrepreneur, I've pushed boundaries, leading to spectacular designs and the creation of a thriving maker's community. This community inspired the Academy, representing my dedication to crowd-driven passion. My opus, a culmination of 25 years, invites learners to follow my path, knowing I'll keep working until the end. Now based in the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, my dream persists.
