Enjoy learning the skills of applying gold leaf with exquisite effect and painting with gouache using a fine brush to create your own illuminated initial.
You'll be carefully guided through the process of tracing down, gilding, decorating and detailing to produce a beautifully finished handmade letter to take home with you. We will be working on Lombardic capitals on a gilded background, embellished with simple but stunning painted botanical illustrations and intricate highlights. The designs are based on an alphabet from a fifteenth century French manuscript. Suitable for any level of ability. All materials are included in the price. Fees are non-refundable except in the event of cancellation by the tutor. £60 This workshop is now full. Please email me if you'd like to join the waiting list. Sample letter outlines
