Hands-On Workshops in Medieval Art
Want to learn medieval calligraphy? Ever wondered how illuminators worked with gold and pigment to bring manuscripts to life? At The Palimpsest Studio, we explore the art of the past through practice-based workshops that revive the techniques of pre-modern artisans.
From ink preparation to gilding, our sessions blend historical insight with creative practice, offering a unique window into the craftsmanship of centuries past. Whether you’re an educator, artist, historian, or simply curious, we invite participants to develop their own responses to medieval art through making and material.
