Romanesque initials

 I am making progress on my materials for the course on 12th century initials and filigrees that will take place next April.

But, of course, nothing beats creating to put into practice the elements found in the manuscripts. So here is a small piece of a work in progress.

Yes, it's green (sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone), soon a complete view of this composition and, in the meantime, you can already register for the course at the Arche de Saint-Antoine.

Shop window

 Christmas is coming and I decided to redecorate the window of my workshop.

If you have windows or a shop window that you would like to decorate for the holidays, you can find my contacts on this page.

And if you want to see me in action, there is a video available here.

Charles

Today is St. Charles the Good.
Bad luck, I'm working on the second Bible of Charles the Bald...

Here are some A's found in the manuscript and some border elements with small dots.

For those who are interested, I give a course on the subject on April 18 and 19, 2020 at the cultural center of Welkenraedt.

Canada, here I am !!

Tomorrow is the departure for the 38th International Calligraphy Conference of North America where I will have the pleasure of teaching filigrees for a whole week.
In the meantime, I have prepared some pockets for the participants.

one of the pockets, opened.
