Fraktur Workshop with Patricia Moody

Dear Members and Followers,

We have now introduced the two day lettering course, as a substitute for 6 week lettering courses.

On 23 April and 21 May Patricia Moody will conduct a course in Fraktur.
 

Fraktur is a beautiful, but much less frequently used Gothic script than Textura.

Originating in 14^th C Germany, it didn’t last too long as a handwritten form, but was widely used as a printing font by the early 16^th C.

Although as densely packed on the line as Textura, and still a ‘broken ‘letter, Fraktur has slightly more curves, and is probably easier to read.
