Gilded Ink and Bluestone with Linda Franklin

Step back in time, into Ballarat’s grandest and oldest licenced pub, Craig’s Royal Hotel.

Be welcomed by your host Linda; descend into a rustic bluestone cellar and guided to explore ink stamp printing, using an array of stunning heritage images.

Then gild your favourite print — with pure gold leaf.

Experience unique artisan techniques. Enjoy gold-dusted dessert, sparkling drinks, beer, or wine. Take home your unique art print embellished with gold.

Gilded Ink and Bluestone is a creative experience that suits 18 years and over. It is ideal for people new to art making and those who are experienced.

Enjoy the ambient surrounds, artisan process and good company.

There are 19 steps into the cellar, so please wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

Linda Franklin is a professional artist, tutor, and art therapist working in the visual arts space for four decades. Her workshops are thematic, engaging, and immersive.
