Medieval Calligraphy Workshop - half day

Learning to write the Gothic style script from medieval manuscripts using a quill (optional) and ink, working towards a written quotation. Tools and materials included. Historical insight into the work of the medieval scribes. Suitable for beginners and those with some experience.

Taking place inside the Sandwich Medieval Centre gives a chance to experience some hands-on history, as the sights, sounds and smells of other crafts being demonstrated evoke the past in the open visitor centre.

This workshop takes place in the upper floor and accessed via some steep steps. Hot beverages are offered and you are welcome to come in costume but not essential !
