June Calliarts - Italic Capitals

 Dear Members and Followers,

To quote a famous song "I simply must go, baby it's cold outside" is the perfect segway to our June Calliarts. It's cold outside so you simply must go to our afternoon of calligraphy. 

As a follow-up to  previous Italic calliarts, our afternoon this month will be centred on Italic capitals with Gloria Scott.

We will look at:

1) the basic capital letters

2) a subdued flourished entry as an alternate choice. 

Requirements

·       Usual calligraphy equipment (ruler, pencil, water etc)

       but particularly:

·       A3 bleed-proof paper pad.

·       Broad (chisel) edged nib pens either Speedball (or other brand) nib sizes 1, 2 or 3.

·       Ink or gouache, water pot, paper towel.

·       Coloured felt tip pens, felt tip broad edge pens.

·       Most importantly, your slope board (if you don’t have one, they are available at the hall).

Workshop - Quirky Capitals with Valerie Keevers

Dear Members and Followers,

Calligraphy Southscribes presents its final workshop for 2019.

A fun day workshop developing capitals/versals that are a little out the usual using pens and pencils. Different styles of decorations using designs, colour and images will be discussed and demonstrated.

Perhaps some inspiration for our 2020 exhibition.
