 ‘Embroidered Illuminated Script’

With Kathryn

Kathryn brought small kits of fabric and thread for this mini workshop for everyone, so members only needed to bring their sewing equipment and they were ready to start.  

Explaining the ways of embellishing your letter with small decorative illustrations.

There is a long history of illuminated manuscripts.  The pictures in the scripts were an important tool during medieval times when many people could not read. 

 

The letter is outlined then filled in with images and drawings 

Thank you Kathryn, I am sure we will find lots of ways to use our letters.
