with Natalie Eslick

Create a hand-held booklet of delights, exploring and honouring the moon in all her phases. With watercolour, coloured pencil, and decorative gold leaf illumination, we will work step by step through six illustrations, delving into the aspects of each moon phase, and an animal with traditional connections to the moon - all with a faint medieval flare. The cohesive narrative of the booklet allows you to explore your own connection to our moon-mother, to personalise the content, or create along with me. I will guide you through the techniques I use, the symbolism and narrative I have chosen, my creative process, and how to construct all elements within the project - empowering you to honour the moon with your own beautiful creation.

Illuminated Lunary was truly magical.  I was so inspired by the mediums, and will definitely be using them in my work in the future.  It opened a whole other world for me!  The entire project was a soulful experience, which is so what art is about.  Thank you, Natalie!  Hoping for more like this soon!  ~

Although it focused on creating mini booklet honouring the magic and beauty of moon, but it dives far deeper into research - exploring myths and folklores from around the world. 

Natalie is a wonderful teacher, how beautifully she explains every process on how to transform any artwork into something magical with a mindful research and exploration. 

For someone like me who believe in art, magic and myths this workshop is miraculously meditative.

Illuminated Lunary is an enchanting class that will immerse you in the cycles of the moon. Natalie is an amazingly talented artist who will guide you through the process of creating this treasured booklet. You’ll learn her techniques for sketching, watercolor, and adding gold foil to your work. I loved this class and you will too!
