Medieval Botanical Illustration
During the year I teach several editions of my 2-day workshop on Medieval Botanical Illustration. In two lessons we will acquaint ourselves with the medieval style of Botanical Illustration, do Herbal Studies and make a Blockprint Design of our favorite herbs and plants.
English
During this 2-day workshop, we will immerse ourselves into the world of Medieval Botanical Illustrations. The lessons will be on two Sundays at several beautiful outdoor locations and at my Printmaking Studio.
On the first Sunday we will start with a short introduction about ‘Drawing from Nature’, ‘Botanical Illustration’ and specifically the medieval style. You will make your own Herbal Studies from the plants in nature, with all sorts of drawing materials, sketching, experimenting and testing different colour combos.
On the second Sunday we will transform our field studies at my studio, into a Blockprint Design, to resemble the typical medieval woodcut illustrations. We will print on different types of paper, and some textile. After the workshop you’ll go home with your studies, a set of prints!
You don’t need any drawing or printmaking experience to do this workshop, we will work with a step-by-step programme, tailored to the groups preferences. All materials are included. You can bring inspiration to work with or to show the group, but it is perfectly fine if you don’t.

Ik heb echt veel geleerd en genoten van deze workshop! In een korte tijd heeft Jerney veel informatie gegeven, geïnspireerd en mij laten oefenen, stapsgewijs en met een fijne opbouw, zodat ik met vertrouwen en plezier een mooie print heb kunnen maken.
Haar atelier was sfeervol, we hebben in een kleine groep lekker gewerkt en gegeten en werden goed begeleid. Ik ben super tevreden met de ervaring en het eindresultaat!

De workshop was erg leuk, gezellig en leerzaam om te doen, met een leuk resultaat. Er was veel persoonlijke aandacht.
Medieval Period
The Mediæval European period itself is subdivided into the ‘early’, ‘high’ and ‘late’ Middle Ages, spanning the time from about the 5th to the 15th century (c. 476–1453). The early medieval period is alternatively referred to as the ‘Dark Ages’.
