Create medieval-styled miniature paintings with Debbie Thompson Wilson. Participants will work on images of rabbits, inspired by the saying “Rabbit Rabbit!” As superstition goes, on the first day of each month saying “Rabbit Rabbit!” as soon as one wakes up is believed to bring good luck for the rest of the month.
In this workshop, participants will have a choice of a few images to paint; some based on medieval manuscript miniatures, where rabbits often appeared in marginal illuminations, and one based on the image of a chocolate mold in the Civic Museum’s collection.
The instructor will provide coloured exemplars, real gold leaf, a fine watercolour brush and watercolour paper and misc. supplies for a fee of $10, payable on the day, cash only.
Preregistration via Eventbrite is required. Cost is $65+HST per participant.
