What you'll do
Sketch and Color Your Canvas
Start by gently shading your paper with colored pencils to create a soft, vibrant background. Then, sketch your name (or any word you love) in large, playful letters. This step sets the stage for your artwork and lets your creativity flow — no need to be perfect, just have fun with the colors!
Apply the Gold Leaf Glue
Next, carefully fill in the letters of your name with special gold leaf adhesive. Aim for an even layer — not too thick, not too thin — so the gold will stick beautifully later on. Think of it as “painting” your name with invisible ink that’s about to turn into something dazzling!
Lay Down the Gold Leaf
Once the glue turns tacky, gently place the delicate gold leaf sheet over your letters. Use your fingertips to press it down lightly so it fully adheres to the glue. Don’t worry if it looks messy at first — that’s part of the magic! Soon you’ll brush away the excess to reveal your glowing golden name.
Reveal and Finish
After the gold leaf has set, use a soft brush to gently sweep away the extra flakes. Slowly, your letters will emerge in shining gold! Add final touches to your background if you’d like, then hold up your finished piece — a sparkling, one-of-a-kind artwork with your name glowing at the center.
- No prior art experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and eagerness to learn.
- All materials, from colored pencils to gold leaf sheets, will be provided for you.
- The workshop is perfect for beginners and those seeking a creative outlet to relax, play with colors, and try something new.
What you'll get
- A personalized gold leaf artwork featuring their own name.
- An additional small gold leaf painting to experiment with colors and techniques.

Your teacher
Our StoryWe are Mackerel Design Studio, a collective of young designers and artists who met at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena — one of the top art schools in the United States. With years of rigorous training and creative exploration, we’ve grown into a team that brings together world-class design taste with a playful, experimental spirit.Our passion for design started as students, where we were constantly challenged to think beyond boundaries and create with both precision and imagination. That experience sparked our belief that design is not just about objects — it’s about emotions, stories, and the connections we create with people.Why We TeachTeaching is our way of sharing that joy. We love creating workshops that feel less like a class and more like a creative playground. Our sessions are designed to spark curiosity, let you explore your personal expression, and give you tools you can keep using long after the workshop ends. Nothing makes us happier than seeing a student’s eyes light up when they realize what they can create with their own hands.What Makes Us SpecialWhat sets us apart is that we bring the perspective of professional designers trained at the very highest level, but we translate that into fun, approachable, and hands-on workshops. We combine deep design knowledge with engaging class structures — whether it’s a casual beginner looking for a mindful afternoon or a company team wanting to bond through creativity.Our team members have worked on projects that range from fashion collaborations to interior design to handcrafted art, and our work has been featured in exhibitions and design media. But at the heart of everything we do is the same idea: design should be beautiful, thoughtful, and fun to share.Join us, and experience design through the eyes of young creators who live and breathe it every day.
