Medieval Page Illumination, Tsukiko Keogh

Medieval Page Illumination (20) All Levels
Learn the basic skills to create a glowing miniature painting that will look like it was ripped from an ancient manuscript. Using real gold leaf and images inspired from history, your illumination will be beautiful framed, on its own or used to embellish a special project. In this case, everything that glitters IS gold. Bring: 4H pencil, fine tipped black pen & small paint brushes (10/0 to 2). Brushes for sharing available in class. Kit $12
