Calligraphic Gilding and Illumination
The beauty of gold and colour has been appreciated for centuries and we are still in awe of the stunning manuscripts produced by mediaeval scribes and illuminators. I was lucky to have been taught on a course where we learned the techniques used by mediaeval scribes including illumination and gilding with gold leaf. I continue to regularly work with gold leaf to create my own ‘illuminated’ letters.
