Earlier today, Transitions Apprentices enjoyed an unforgettable artistic experience with critically acclaimed Adirondack artist and designer Barney Bellinger (Barney Bellinger Collection). Barney was kind enough to give a tour of his studio at the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts. The renowned painter, furniture artisan and 3D artist also taught the Apprentices the ancient and delicate process of applying gold leaf to works of art. We would like to thank Barney for his generosity in sharing his workspace, skills and talent, and for letting the Apprentices help him finish one of his gorgeous pieces.
