The craft or process of hammering gold into extremely thin, translucent sheets called gold leaf.
From 'goldbeater' plus the gerund suffix '-ing,' referring to the continuous action of beating gold. This ancient technique has been practiced since at least Roman times.
A goldbeater can hammer just one gram of gold into a sheet large enough to cover an entire wall—it's one of the most amazing demonstrations of how malleable gold really is!
