FULLY BOOKED: FURTHER MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPT ILLUMINATION

April 21st at 18:30 to April 23rd at 13:30

This course involves more advanced illumination techniques and is therefore NOT suitable for beginners. Those who have already attended the beginner’s course (INTRODUCTION TO MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPT ILLUMINATION, 19-21 April) and have some experience of the craft will be able to progress and expand their repertoire. We will make a perfect manuscript gesso using a traditional recipe then learn how to lay it smoothly, gild with loose leaf gold and burnish it to a mirror shine. All materials will be provided. Those who are already able to make and lay gesso are welcome to work on their own projects with help and advice from the tutor.
