Create an illuminated monogram from metal.

After an introduction to the tools and materials, we’ll start off by creating a small practice piece so that you can get used to how the tools and materials work.

We’ll then move on to creating your illuminated monogram design. We’ll draw out your chosen initial letter and then I will show you a traditional space filling method used in medieval manuscripts for creating the background design.

No experience of metal embossing is necessary, as I will take you through all the methods to make your monogram. We’ll go through all the steps from creating your design, to transferring it to the metal plate, learning the techniques of metal embossing and finally how to finish your monogram to make it look aged.

You will leave the workshop with a finished illuminated monogram.

Suitable for beginners.
