April Calliarts - Eastern-Style Alphabet

 Dear Members and Followers,

Take a trip east with our April Calliarts afternoon and enjoy an Eastern-Style Alphabet

On 13 April 2024 where our tutor will be Glenis Sheather.


This Eastern-Style alphabet is inspired by the one featured in “The Art of Calligraphy” series.  Based on the Italic Script, this flowing alphabet has been given a modern, Eastern appearance by extending the width of the letters and elongating the flourishes.  Both minuscules and majuscules will be covered in this Calliarts workshop.  If there is time you may wish to produce a small piece of work.



Materials List: 

Usual calligraphy gear

Nib size – William Mitchell 2, Speedball 3, Brause 2 or similar

Layout pad

Ink or gouache of your choice

An A4 sheet of tracing paper

An A5 sheet of good quality paper and a short verse if you want to produce a piece of work.
