Tuition

As a teacher Jo enjoys sharing her passion with students at workshops and courses locally.
What past students said "I learned a lot and it is really helpful to have someone who has done it all before and can magically produce a "perfect" letter on demand.";
" it was a real pleasure and big learning curve during the 8 weeks -- and how this time flew by!!  Looking forward to your next workshop.";  
 'I wasn't expecting to make so much progress in a day! Your style of teaching was very engaging and put the group at ease.' 

Jo welcomes invitations to talk, demonstrate, collaborate or teach from organisations, schools, craft groups or art centres. Please email to discuss.

Illumination – the decoration historically used to ornament a page of manuscript including the use of gold leaf.

This one day workshop offers experienced guidance and instruction for beginners and those with some calligraphy experience wishing to try their hand at illuminating a letter.  The group will draw a single letter to be gilded using 24 carat gold leaf (choose your own design or use one provided by tutor). This letter will be embellished using a variety of painting and drawing media along traditional or contemporary lines.

Essential materials are provided.  

Option to purchase additional items from tutor.

Please bring any small brushes, gouache, drawing pens and ideas.

Refreshments will be available but please make your own arrangements for lunch – packed lunch is ideal.
