“I thoroughly enjoyed Matt’s excellent Medieval Manuscripts techniques course. He is extremely knowledgeable, and the course content was fascinating. I learnt so much, and even though I hadn’t thought it was all artistic.
Matt’s enthusiasm encouraged me, and I have loved doing it.”

“An absorbing course, it cleverly weaves the history of the art form and the production of the artist materials with the stages in creating your own chosen manuscript design. I loved this course and the opportunity to explore the exquisite beauty of this art.”
