The last workshop for 2017 is the David Jones Script with Valerie Keevers.
David Jones born in London in late 1880’s became an
Architect who while studying discovered the Trajan Column lettering. He taught himself lettering and developed his
version of the Roman letters which he used for inscriptions mainly in Latin and
mostly religious type works as he had converted to Catholicism. Moving to Ditchling he became friends with
Eric Gill and Edward Johnston. His
designs are often based on a square and use a mixture of capital and lowercase
letters within the design which give a quirky yet very balance pleasing
appearance. Another script to add to
your portfolio.
Usual Chisel nibs and holders.
Walnut Ink.
1 colour Gouache.
(not Black). (Watercolour can be
used, gives softer effect.)
1 or 2 mid tone Coloured pencils and or Watercolour pencils.
Practise pad, ruler and HB pencil.
1 piece A4 Watercolour paper,
1 piece A5 Watercolour paper and 1 piece A5 black paper or
card.
1 fine point brush and 1 mixing brush (any old brush will do
for background application).
Small plastic plate or dish.
There will be a $1.00 charge for background material which I
will provide.
Please do not buy anything on the list you might not have as
I will bring pencils, Gouache and ink with me for use.
Saturday 21 October - 10am to 4pm - Sylvania Community Hall
