✨Medieval Art - Illuminated Manuscripts✨


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.

We'll be studying the life of the artist nun Hildegard von Bingen (1098 – 17 September 1179) as we look at a variety of illuminated manuscripts from this time. Over the term we will be transferring drawings and patterns, practicing calligraphy, designing our initials, mastering the processes of gold-leafing and sculpting our own battling bunnies of marginalia! Students will leave with their own mini Illuminated artworks and their battling bunnies sculpture.

Through the study of her paintings and other works from the time we will complete a series of delicate gold leafed watercolour and gouache paintings to form a illuminations of our own. Each day will begin with calligraphy warm up exercise as we practice medieval doodling, or 'marginalia'.

Our small class size of only 12, means that each student will get the feedback and attention they need in order to achieve their best outcome.

All materials and an afternoon tea fruit platter will be provided for each day. Please bring a nut free snack and lunch as well as a water bottle.

9.00am - 3.00pm on Wednesday 8th of July and Thursday 9th of July

This session is recommended for ages 7+

✨Junior Art - 2 Cute 2 Overload with Elizabeth Marruffo✨

That's right! By popular demand we've produced the sequel to Cute Overload!
(Note: you don't have to have done the first workshop to take part in this one)

And just like every good sequel, we've included more activities, more characters and more CUTENESS!

This holidays in Junior Art we will be taking a deep dive into the world of the adorable to distill the formula for what makes cute things EXTREMELY cute!

Across two big days we’ll be analysing the masters of cute – like Sanrio, Miffy and Pusheen. By studying the formula for cute we will draw, paint and design our way through a range of delightful projects. We'll also be needle-felting and making adorable pom-pom characters.

We will use the cute-formula we’ve studied to design our very own unique characters that we’ll make paintings of.
