After working for the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery for ten years, William B. Adair founded Gold Leaf Studios in 1982. The Studio makes frames using Renaissance techniques. The Studio’s craftsmen are skilled in recreating frames with a wide variety of designs, from simple to ornate. Gold Leaf Studios maintains museum standards of conservation, mounting and matting to protect and enhance artworks. The Studio is a member of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. In addition to creating custom frames, the Studio has a large collection of more than three thousand antique frames, representing many periods of history. The Studio is therefore able to provide clients with unparalleled options, in historic replicas, period frames and conservation. Gold Leaf Studios has partnered with Education Foundations to develop an Artisan Training Program. The program consists of an international series of gilding workshops, lectures and forums taught by Adair. The Studio also teaches gilding workshops at the National Building Museum’s annual Festival of the Building Arts. In addition to the Studio’s framing, gilding and conservation services, they advise clients on private art sales. Gold Leaf Studios is located in a ten thousand foot carriage house in Dupont Circle. The carriage house built in 1903 is tucked into a courtyard off of Massachusetts Avenue. Ample parking is available.


I mean, there's nothing beautiful about it. I'm not going to accept if you We'll credit him and then I'll send him an email after we've used it all up. Oh, by the way, my creative record might have used your. . . Mike's just an artist. He's just an artist who wants to be able to support his own work by being able to run out of spaces. So he's not in for the money or for the glory or anything. He just does it because he wants to create artistic spaces for people in DC. I waited tables a long time. I've worked in print shops. I've worked for other people spending a lot of time in the box. When you want to get out of the box, when you finally want to get out of the box, you decide what practical things can you do to make money. I figure, okay, $40,000 a month. How many artists is that? And the actual figure on that is pretty small. What makes this place really great is that fact is that everybody is on the same page. Everybody's trying to build their career, build their art and very encouraging of each other. This is possible. This isn't just a fluke. We've been here for over 10 years.
