Authentic, historical and handmade
From 2006 – 2010 in the very start the project went under the name Textura. The name Textura is a Latin word which means “weaved”, as well as being the first named font; the font we today know as “Gothic writing”.

Textura (Gothic writing) originates from the second half of the 12th century. Gutenberg imitated and used this originally handwritten font in the first printed books. In 2010 the Textura project was offered to ‘inherit’ the domain name Scriptorium.dk from a medieval writings colleague. I took this great offer and chose to rename the project to Scriptorium.dk

Scriptorium.dk is a small artist firm that recreates and reproduces historic, illustrated handicraft. Most of the products are made by the owner and graphic designer Søren Bie, from his idea that historical illustrations don’t just have to be enjoyed and experienced in books, in museums and through digital media, but also as copy-art which can bring joy and be owned by many.

Most of the pieces are made in my own studio and are made from handmade high quality materials. Every piece is either unique or made in very small numbers. Every artwork is carefully chosen and is an authentic, historical and handmade copy.

Here's a detail close by, from the second and much more complex Jeanne d'Arc series, which is a total of 6 motifs times four. On such a typical picture is painted layer upon layer in the thousands.
