Class Details

This ONLINE class is designed for students who have taken Heather's Fascinating Floral Rinceau class, but is open to students of all abilities. 

Step into a world of holiday magic and historic elegance! Throughout this class, we will design a stunning, illuminated border that marries the timeless beauty of festive Rinceau motifs with the whimsical charm of a winter’s fairy tale. 

Guided by Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts, this class focuses on expanding your design skills and refining your gilding and painting techniques. We will build upon the skills learned in Fascinating Floral Rinceau, elevating those designs to give our borders a vibrant and festive look. 

Let your imagination soar as we infuse these historic designs with a delightful fairy tale touch through inset motifs or branching designs. Our borders will feature a whimsical mouse or bird within the glittering motifs. All skill levels are welcome in this beautiful class that celebrates the holiday season.
