SUTHERLAND UNITED SERVICES CLUB. EAST
PARADE SUTHERLAND. 10AM – 4PM
Used from
the 8th to the mid 12th Centuries, Carolingian is the
first true minuscule script.
It is
characterised by simple, compact, round letterforms with long ascenders &
descenders and extra wide interlinear spacing.
We will
modernise this pretty, and useful script by increasing the X height, adjusting
the pen angle used, and shortening the ascenders & descenders.
Decoration,
kept to a minimum, can be anything you like, and simple Roman Caps or Versals,
can be used to good effect.
WHAT TO
BRING.
·
Usual
Calligraphy gear, with a variety of nibs if possible.
·
Layout
pad.
·
Ink
or gouache to write with.
·
Colour
pencils or gouache for your decoration.
·
Water
jar, brushes, rags for clean up, etc, if you are using paint.
·
A3
size of better quality paper for ‘finished ‘piece. Lana, or Canson Mi-Tientes
will be fine.
·
Piece
of prose or a verse for approx. 10 lines of finished writing.
·
NB:
A simple background wash (if you have one just hanging around) looks good with
this style.
