Irresistible Illuminations

Become an illuminator for a day. Join us for an afternoon of discovery exploring our collection of medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts. After examining the pages, become an apprentice illuminator, mixing and grinding pigments into paint just like they did during the Renaissance. You will create your own ornate initial which you will paint and further illuminate with 22 K gold leaf!

Our innovative art workshops are designed for adults and children to complete together. They are limited to families with children and due to the use of special art materials are intended for the ages listed.
