One of the most famous of all medieval books, the Book of Kells (ca. 800 CE) is an iconic symbol of Irish culture. Its lavish decoration and distinctive script are immediately recognizable. In this two-day workshop, instructor Meredith Klein will teach the letterforms that constitute this hand, and participants will also explore various decorated elements and capital letters associated with this script.
PLEASE NOTE: Although appropriate for all levels of experience, a familiarity with broad-edge lettering is encouraged for those who register for this workshop.
