Text as Texture

Dear Members and Followers,

What a great weekend we had with the workshop "Text as Texture" tutored by Deirdre Hassed. All participants had a great time and learnt alot. As a tutor Deirdre was helpful, encouraging and prepared for whatever question we aimed at her.

Here are some of the works to come out of the weekend.

Text As Texture - Tutor : Deirdre Hassed





Dear Members and Followers,

Many well known Calligraphers use a variety of textures within one piece of work. This helps extract the meaning from the text. After studying some examples, we will build our own repertoire of textures exploring how they can be used to good effect on a single page.
On the first day of this 2-day workshop, we will take a more formal approach , devoting the second day looking at more experimental ways of creating texture with text.
Prepare to be surprised as your page takes shape you. We will be working mostly with black ink on
white paper using both conventional as well as freer lettering styles with unusual use of some of our tools, and just a splash of colour or gold.
This workshop is suitable for students of all levels , but participants should have a sound working use of at least one script. Deirdre Hassed.
