Bringing Colour to the Middle Ages
Bringing Colour to the Middle Ages
We run several workshops throughout the year. They are a great way to experience the middle ages.
Learn to write like a medieval scribe. You'll learn how to put quill to parchment and create your own manuscript. The workshop will cover many aspects of medieval scribing using authentic materials. This course can be combined with the Illumination Workshop for a complete experience over the weekend (you can even stay overnight - ask for details).
These workshops will be held at the fabulous location at Ancient Technology Centre - Dorset.
