re: using gold leaf on ceramics

I'd appreciate any insight or advice you could give on how to use gold leaf on
ceramics. A classmate of mine has aquired a box of those gold leaf sheets (like
the ones the frame gilders use). He is thinking of using those sheets and
applying them to his pottery. So far, in our textbooks or other reference
material, we haven't come across information on how that is done. Our
instructors haven't worked with the gold leaf either so we need advice/help. If
any of you have worked with the gold leaf, and have experiences you'd like to
share, I'd be very appreciative...and I know my classmate would appreciate it
too. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Sincerely, Lisa Rich,
