We are still able to offer a Calliarts afternoon and a mini workshop for August, so we would love to see you.
The Batarde script is a generic term
for a cursive writing of mixed Gothic parentage, used as a parallel
script for less prestigious works, it developed into a variety of
scripts in their own right eg. Bastarda, Bastard script, Secretary Hand
and Schwabacher. Speed was important but letter forms still had to be
impressive, so some variations of script developed many loops and
linking letters. They covered the Gothic era from 12th to 16th
Centuries. These French, German and English scripts give some quite
modern styles for you to use in Calligraphy today yet still retain their
authenticity.
