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 creating beautiful Gothic-style letters with graded colour and embellishing them with golden ribbon flourishes in gold leaf with subtle touches to finish them off. Although we will start with a basic outline, you will choose your letter, the feature colour, and the fine decorative accents. It will make the completed initial uniquely yours. Suitable for all levels of ability. All materials are included in the price. Fees are non-refundable except in the event of cancellation by the tutor. £60 UPDATE! This workshop is now full. Please email me if you would like to be added to the waiting list. |
