The Medieval society wasn't all about prayers and plagues.

The painstaking task of copying medieval manuscripts, hand-written line after line, was performed by scribes who spiced up the task!

12th century Europe illuminated manuscripts are teeming with chimerical monsters, (also known as “drolleries” (whimsical things).

This vibrantly colorful and decorative art style combines humans, animals and foliage that seem to appear from unknown worlds.

Participants receive 6-weekly selections of Grotesques from various medieval manuscripts.

Choose one or several Grotesques each week to replicate and/or alter to meet your whimsy. 

Demos plus tips and tricks are discussed during the Friday Show & Share session.
