Manuscript Illumination Workshop
The beginners class of Manuscript Illumination will offer an appreciation of the work of monks and wandering medieval artists of the 10th to 14th century. No previous experience is necessary. This class will train the students to use gouache paint for the following forms: leaves, turning leaves, diaper pattern, decoration of leading letters, turning ribbons and the use of an embosser to decorate gold backgrounds. A final project, ready for framing, will be completed. The instructor will supply all of the materials needed.
