Gilding on paper with Toni Watts
Toni Watts is a professional artist and illuminator with a special interest in using traditional gilding techniques to produce contemporary work.
Illumination is, as we all know, an endangered craft. It has been Toni's mission to 'demystify' the process of gilding on paper and make those skills available to a wider audience, hopefully ensuring its continued survival. She has taught classes wordwide, including most recently, at the IAMPETH (the International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers, and Teachers of Handwriting) conference in America.
Toni will talk to us about the process of writing her recent book Contemporary Illumination for the Calligrapher and Artist: Traditional Techniques Reinterpreted (the good parts, the bad parts and the definitely ugly) and her experiences of being a British author in the US!
