MEET THE CRAFT

Committed to the craft
I mainly work with materials and tools that represent the origins of the craft. In practice, it means that I use pigments and gum arabic - from acacia trees - dissolved in water.
The colour scheme follows the tradition from the period with the inlaid symbolism. For the initials it is lapis lazuli (ultramarine), vermillion, azurite, verdigris, and ochre.
I prefer to work on handmade linen paper.
​



A flourish initial is to be neat and glamorous and, at the same time, to be filled with motion, life energy, thought, and wit of the master.
