Have you always admired those historical illuminated manuscripts or decorated certificates and wondered how they were created? Maybe you've even had a secret wish to be able to do those kinds of things yourself? Then this workshop is perfect for you!
You get the opportunity to follow step-by-step instructions and a demonstration to create your VERY OWN fancy decorated capital letter during the workshop. We'll be using modern materials with traditional techniques. Even complete beginners can do this successfully!
These decorated capital letters make exceptional handmade gifts, and many people find the process of creating them absolutely intoxicating, in the best possible way. Just wait until your friends and family see what you can do (and you don't have to tell them how easy it was)!
