Ex Libris - 15 century style

  Enroll in Course

This fifteenth century style bookplate is modeled from the beautiful books of hours of that period. I will show you how to create it for yourself. Step by step, using instructional videos and worksheets you can create your personalized bookplate. Add your own name to it, or the name of someone special as the ultimate personalized gift. When finished, you can glue the original into your favourite book, or scan it and print hundreds of copies for your entire Library.

I would hate you to be unhappy. I put a lot of love and energy into creating these, but if you are truly unsatisfied with the course then contact me within the first 30 days of purchasing and I will give you a full refund.
I have never done illumination before
Not to worry. I have been teaching newbies for many years and will be with you every step of the way. Most people are very surprised at what they can achieve in their first illumination lesson.
I believe that keeping this beautiful art form alive is very important, so I want to teach you and help perpetuate this time honoured tradition. I also see how illumination can be used to help you. As a gentle, meditative practice; it calms the mind and helps you to focus. In a busy, digital world… it is important to take time out for yourself, make something tangible and connect to your inner creativity. Most of all, the act of creating the beauty for yourself, helps to restore your own inner balance.
