Calontir Scribes Playing with Powdered Pigments

Making Paint From Powder

My Messy Studio

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                What do I do to prepare? First I must clean out my neglected mini-studio. Poor thing has been ignored for a few months since I got hooked on blogging. I’ll take stock of my handouts and supplies. Then I’ll cajole/invite a few Lonely Tower scribes to take a condensed practice class.

My Raw Rock Mineral Collection

                                                                     Each time I teach a class it’s different. New, this time, you will see and hold my raw mineral rock collection. Ground to powder and added to a binder, these rocks make paint used in manuscript illumination . Some are used in paint to this day.
