This is a fun activity in Leeds.
Join this illuminated initials on shrink plastic workshop and create your very own miniature artwork inspired by the beauty of medieval manuscripts. This hands-on activity is a wonderful way to learn how to make a jewel-like piece that you can keep as a brooch, pendant, or special keepsake.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll be guided through the whole creative process. You don't need any prior experience, just an interest in trying something new! You will learn how to design and craft your own unique piece from scratch.
**During the class, you will:**
- Choose your own initial (A-Z) to use as the base of your design.
- Learn the art of gilding using genuine 24-carat gold leaf on shrink plastic.
- Design and paint your own colours and motifs, inspired by medieval florals, animals, or your own imagination.
- Watch the magic as your artwork shrinks into a vibrant, durable miniature.
All the materials you'll need are provided, including 24-carat gold leaf, shrink plastic, paints, brushes, and jewellery findings.
This experience will leave you feeling inspired, having turned a simple sheet of plastic into a shimmering, completely unique illuminated letter to take home and treasure.
