Also known as Muffin the Card, I portray the following characters:
Calligraphy:
The Scrivener sits in his tent skillfully writing, he stops to cut a
new quill. People try their hand with a pen. Lining the walls of his
tent hang examples of medieval alphabets.
Lipwork: Bee
skeps, bedmats and baskets, transformed from readily available
materials. All the Lipworker needs is straw and bramble, some water, a
horn and a bone 'fid'.
Playing Cards: From the 14th
century playing cards were hand-coloured for the rich and influential.
Discover how they evolved through time and enter the world of the
Cartier, and maybe even take a pack home.
