Phone: 540-955-3939 or email: phmillerstudio@gmail.com. My studio classes are geared toward gilders with experience as well as those interested in starting fresh. The classes are purposely small so that each student can get the most of the class. My gilding experience is based on 35 years as a professional gilder and frame maker.

Class offerings include Water Gilding, Carving Ornaments on frames, Sgraffito, Pastiglia, Glass Gilding.

I was so pleased that both woman had such a great experience and brought a lot of knowledge back to Wiebold Studio from the 4 day class.

from Katie Sharrock of Wiebold Studio, Cleveland Ohio

“While the goal of each of our conservators is mastery of their craft, every artist knows that a true master will perpetually be a student. Wiebold would like to thank PH Miller Studio for welcoming our Paintings Department into their workspace, and leading them through a fantastic workshop on traditional water gilding, taught by the master frame maker himself.”
