What you'll learn:

White vine decorations are just as relevant today as they were 500 years ago. They started as decorative initials or borders in Illuminated manuscripts, and can be found as decorations and borders in the Zanerian Manual. Most often used in certificate work, they are equally at home in wedding invitations and poems and prose. 

We will start with a simple design to understand their basic structure and work our way up to more intricate patterns. You will learn how to do free-standing designs and, as our final project, we will be creating a full border that you can use for a small certificate or as a frame for a picture.

We'll explore:

  • Traditional patterns for white vines
  • Charting a pattern on graph paper
  • Weaving patterns into more intricate designs
  • Painting techniques 
  • Shading techniques 
  • Brief exploration of applying white vines to initials
  • Creating a rectangular or oval border (class project)
