Workshop - Your name in Book of Kells-style

Illuminated Letters Workshop: create your name inspired by the book of Kells
Discover the beauty of medieval Irish manuscripts and create your own personalised artwork inspired by the Book of Kells.
In this relaxed 2-hour workshop, you will draw the first letter of your own name as an illuminated Celtic initial and write the remaining letters in traditional Cló Gaelach (Irish script).
Using watercolour pencils on high-quality watercolour paper, you’ll add colour and detail to create a unique piece of art that will be mounted and framed for you to take home.
No drawing experience is required.
 
What You Will Do
Choose the first letter of your name.
Practise drawing it on a draft sheet while following one of my original designs.
Transfer your final drawing onto quality watercolour paper.
Write the rest of your first name in Cló Gaelach.
Colour and paint your artwork using watercolour pencils.
Mount and frame your finished piece (optional: add-on)
If you are not happy with your drawing, you can colour one of my pre-drawn templates instead.
