Our March Calliarts is Copperplate with Glenis Sheather. Glenis is renowned for her Copperplae works and describes the workshop as:
Copperplate has become the name
given to English Roundhand, the elegant script developed by the Writing Masters
in England following the popularity of the lettering being used by engravers in
the 16th Century. A fine
cursive hand, Copperplate is written with a pointed nib, using the pressure on,
pressure off technique. In Part 1 we
will cover the lower case letters.
MATERIALS LIST
- Bleedproof Layout Pad, preferably A4 size.
- Elbow nib* and pen holder OR a straight pointed nib and an oblique pen holder.
- Ink (Chinese or similar) or gouache of your choice.
- 2B or HB pencil
·
Usual
Calligraphy Gear. However, you will not
need a slope board.
*Elbow nibs can be purchased at
Eckersley’s. If you are unable to buy
one I will have some for sale on the day for $3.50 each. Please have the correct money.
