Gilding & Glitter

A live screenprinting demonstration showing how metal leaf and glitter add light, sparkle and texture to printed images.

Part of the Imprint Art Fair studio programme, this session at the screenprinting press explores how metal leaf and glitter bring reflective surfaces into a print. An artist demonstrates how these materials are applied and how they interact with printed colour to transform the finished image. The session forms part of a weekend of press demonstrations running across the fair from 29 October to 1 November 2026.
