• King Galon Gold Leaf Workshop - Situated on 36th Street, the King Galon Gold Leaf Workshop is one of several places where the delicate process of creating gold leaf squares, approximately 1.5 inches in size, is performed. The process involves taking a 2oz gold button and rolling it into a ribbon about 3/4 inch wide and 20 feet long. This ribbon is then cut into 800 equal pieces. Bundles of 200 pieces, each separated by paper, are hammered until they become flatter. The pieces are then cut smaller and the process is repeated several times. It takes three men with large hammers about 6 hours to transform the gold into thin leaves. By the end of the day, they have produced around 2900 gold leaves from a single gold button.
