SUMMARY:Reimagining Illumination: Make Your Own Illuminated Initial
DESCRIPTION:Reimagining Illumination is a series of workshops designed to 
 interrogate and expand the concept of illumination (i.e.\, the use of 
 light) in books and manuscripts.\n\nHow can we use light to make our books 
 beautiful\, interesting\, fun\, or informative? Through a series of 
 workshops\, scheduled over the 2025-2026 academic year\, we will 
 investigate this question. Over the course of the year we'll look at books 
 from the Kislak Center for Special Collections\, Rare Books\, and 
 Manuscripts\, and we'll make some of our own. The series will culminate in 
 an open exhibition with manuscripts and books viewed under candlelight\, 
 and featuring our creations\, too.\n\nOn February 17\, SIMS Curator for 
 Digital Humanities Dot Porter and Program Coordinator of Technology and 
 Play Christine Kemp will lead a workshop where we will make our own 
 illuminated initials on parchment using gold leaf and paint.\n\nThis is a 
 repeat of a workshop held in October 2025. The sample initial was created 
 during that workshop.\n\nReimagining Illumination is sponsored by the 
 Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies and will be held in the Vitale 
 II Lab for Digital Humanities & Book History (Van Pelt Library 623)
