Scribes Workshops

Scribes Workshops

Once a month, we hold a scribes workshop, where we teach and practice the arts of calligraphy (writing) and illumination (painting), based on medieval and renaissance manuscripts.

We welcome complete beginners, as well as those who have previous experience.

People work on developing their skills in calligraphy, painting, laying gold etc, and also work on their own projects or group projects.
