Join us for the Calliarts Afternoon on Saturday 12 July when Glenis will guide us through the finer art of Copperplate Decoration.
There are
many variations of Copperplate capital letters, from the basic to the very
ornate. In this workshop we will start
with the elegant basic capitals and then start adding flourishing and simple
decoration to give us some truly beautiful letters. A working knowledge of Copperplate is
necessary for this workshop. However,
for those members who have not done Copperplate, I will have some exercises for
flourishing with a broad edged nib. This
type of flourishing can be used with scripts such as Italic.
Materials
required are: your favourite pointed
nib/holder, a 2B or HB pencil, a fine pointed paint brush, ink and/or gouache
of your choice, usual calligraphy gear.
