We calligraphers love medieval illumination. Glorious times in scriptoriums, when beautiful manuscripts have been created with lines & pages of highly decorated letters and words. They remain to be inspirational for us as they have been through the decades for many artists and designers. Brilliant work has been created by graphic designers in the 1920s. Let this be inspiration of your new style of Modern Illumination!
Padlet will be set up for tutor’s feedback. CSV will run separate short zoom or send instruction email on how to use Padlet.
