In this workshop, you will make Christmas cards or notebook covers with Christmas tree design or a Christian Geometric Cross design, inspired by Georgian, Armenian, Celtic and Viking designs.

You will draw traditional Christmas tree or Cross design and learn different manuscript gilding techniques with 23.5 carat gold leaf on Pergamenata manuscript paper or on a notebook cover. You will also decorate the cards/books with self-made paints made with natural pigments. This is good exercise for future manuscript or gilding work.

You will go home with a beautiful Christmas card or notebook cover and have learned traditional skills and artwork.
