Our next one day workshop is Italic Variations - Saturday 16 April with Patricia Moody.
Italic is a hand that can be adapted, and modified, to make
it suitable for any occasion and situation. It can be traditional or as modern
as you like, as you can see by the two examples below.
This workshop will allow you to play with the basic Italic
but then making it taller, shorter, fatter, sharper & spikier, with serifs,
or without serifs, tilting it backwards and forwards & stretching it
sideways. Different pen sizes may be
used, or you could use just one size.
If time allows, we will write in colour, and maybe finish a
smallish quote or piece of prose.
MATERIALS LIST - ITALIC VARIATIONS
Only need your everyday gear, with whatever nibs you prefer to work with.
Have a good selection of nib sizes if you can, otherwise whatever you have. Pointed pens as well if you wish.
Layout pad, preferably A3.
Ink or paint of your choice.
Water jars, mixing dishes and brushes plus rags for cleaning up.
Short verse or quote plus some better quality paper ( Canson Mi-Teintes, Lana, or any watercolour paper you may wish to use) no larger than A3 should be fine.
