Illuminatie – Egg Tempera Painting Kit
Collection: The Alchemist
A ritual chest of pigment and gold — made to slow down and create like the artists of another age.
Step into the world of illuminated manuscripts, where stories were not only written, but brought to life with brush, pigment and gold leaf.
Illuminatie is a carefully curated egg tempera painting kit for anyone who longs to paint the way medieval artists once did — slowly, attentively, and deeply connected to the materials in their hands.
Inside this set you’ll find everything you need to make your own paint, just like the craftspeople of the past: pure pigments, a recipe for a natural binder, handmade paper, real seashells to use as paint wells, gold leaf, and more. Each component is packed by hand and comes with guidance in the included instruction booklet.
Whether you’re illustrating stories, practising calligraphy, creating botanical studies, or simply craving a quiet ritual of creativity — Illuminatie invites you into a slower rhythm of wonder and craft.
