x Paint like a miniaturist In the workshops of medieval illuminators, there were no boxes of watercolors or tubes of gouache to be found. Instead, they made their colors from natural materials or with pigments from distant parts of the world. Discover how much fun it is to make paint from pigment powder and acacia gum and paint yourself a coat of arms or a detail from a manuscript. x Become a medieval scribe With a quill in your hand, you will discover that writing letters can be quite an art! Limit the thickness of the lines, round off the letters neatly and don’t forget to avoid smudging… You will undoubtedly start to admire the artists who, centuries ago, created the calligraphy in the museum’s impressive manuscripts. x Practical information When? Saturday 18 February from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 26 February from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Where? In the atelier at the exit of the KBR museum Price? Included in the price of your museum ticket Who?
