The illuminations feature a lot of fun characters such as rabbits riding snails, foxes carrying backpacks of birds, wacky‘marginalia’ (medieval doodling) and many intricate decorative patterns. In the first 4 sessions we will look closely at a range of engaging medieval illuminations including those by Hildegard von Bingen. Our class size of only 16 with 2 teachers means that each student will get the feedback and attention they need in order to achieve their best outcome. We will be transferring drawings and patterns, practicing calligraphy, designing our initials, sculpting our own Pangur Ban cat and gold-leafing it all! Students will leave with their own mini Illuminated Book and their Pangur Ban cat sculpture. Through the study of Von Bingen’s paintings and a variety of illuminated manuscripts from this time we will complete a series of delicate gold leafed watercolour and gouache paintings to form a book of our own. The life of the artist nun Hildegard van Bingen (1098 – 17 September 1179), as well as the Old Irish poem about the cat Pangur Ban will be studied. In this course students will be inspired by calligraphy and the detailed illustrations of animals and plants made by the nuns and monks working in the middle ages.
