Summer School of Calligraphy Hebdów 2026

This workshop invites you to immerse yourself in the craft of the Middle Ages and to create one richly illuminated manuscript page from start to finish. Focusing on one page allows us to work with great care and depth: step by step, we progress from the general layout to the smallest painted detail, based on historical practices.

What We Will Work On

Page Composition

We will begin by studying medieval page layouts—margins, text blocks, balance, and visual rhythm—and apply these principles to the design of your own page.

Blackletter Script

You will practice writing blackletter with an emphasis on proportion, rhythm, and consistency, developing a controlled hand and an understanding of how script shapes the character of the page.
