Dear Members and Followers,
This May we are diving into Italic with Patricia Moody for both a Calliarts and a Workshop. Patricia is renowned for her Italic calligraphy works so take advantage of these days.
Calliart; Getting to grips with Italic - Saturday 8 May 2021
This will not be a structured afternoon dealing with all of the many problems individual scripts can present. Rather it will be a few hours of revision, with maybe a variation or two for those who might want to hone some rusty pen skills. Or, a basic beginners guide to letterform, pen angles, X heights etc for members new to the Italic hand.
There will be no pressure to achieve a finished piece during our 3 hours together, instead it will be a few hours spent among friends while playing with pen and ink.
Materials List: Bring whatever you have, or feel comfortable using. Larger pens, ie Speedball no 2 or even double pencils for the less experienced. A3 layout pad, eraser, ruler, pencil, and either ink or paint of your choice. (If the latter, don’t forget a mixing palette & brushes, water jar and rags/ paper towel)
