Yours truly is taking you through the joy of Uncial but this time time with a pointed nib.
Many calligraphic hands lend
themselves to the lightweight texture of the pointed nib and you will also find
that pointed nib work has a certain gracefulness about it.
This one day workshop will
utilise a pointed nib to create the uncial script instead of a traditional
chisel-edged nib (it will not be the modern uncial script previously taught).
Materials List:
·
Usual calligraphy gear (ruler, A3 or A4 bleedproof or bond paper, eraser, ink or gouache, lead pencils, etc.)
·
Straight pen-holder
·
Straight pointed pen nib/s (bring what you
have to experiment with. A Gillot 404 is a good start as it is a little stiffer
which makes learning how to obtain thicks through pressure easier)
·
Tracing paper
Suitability – All levels.*
* If you are a beginner to calligraphy and would like to spend the time learning Uncial hand with a chisel nib, please contact us as arrangements can be made to accommodate you on the day.
