An Introduction to Manuscript Illumination – aimed at those who have never gilded before, this class focuses on gilding flat on the page using a variety of sizes, both traditional and modern. A one / two day workshop.

Further Manuscript Illumination – focussing on the use of manuscript gesso to create raised areas of gilding with a mirror shine. Traditionally containing white lead, a non-toxic recipe can also be used. Whilst the workshop concentrates on laying, shaping and gilding the gesso with loose leaf gold, it is also possible to make gesso if time permits. One – five days.

Combining techniques  – Create something a little different by combining gilding techniques. By contrasting burnished and unburnished and flat and raised areas your work stands out from the mainstream. A one – two day workshop for those with experience of using gesso and loose leaf gold.
