Master Scribe Bernard in the Stična Abbey Scriptorium
Calligraphy workshop about the culture of writing from the eleventh to thirteenth century.

After the theoretical part of the workshop, the participants are given calligraphy writing utensils and inks and under the guidance of a teacher, they try to write as much text as possible in the Caroline/Gothic script.
