Illuminated letters were beautiful miniature works of art and have been used by calligraphers for nearly 2000 years. You can choose your medieval letter and copy or trace it down onto watercolour paper. The colour will be added using gouache paints. Gold can be applied using either gouache or gold leaf. (gold leaf, size, gouache and paper can be purchased from the tutor at a small cost). Suitable for beginners. £16 Tutor: Gina Youens.
