After the AGM on Saturday, we are having our monthly Calliarts which promises to be little scripts but big fun!
Tiny
Writing is a unique skill, which is useful for artwork, journaling, calligraphy
and card making for beginner to immediate skill level. Areas you can use tiny
writing are reference lines, author name and scripsit, invitation and birth
announcements, using them for accents, poetry, bookmarks, making your own
family history/bible, scrollwork and circular work. In class, we will examine
historical uses and review contemporary illustrations. We will spend the few
hours exploring techniques and some scripts for participants to use.
An
exemplar will be available on the day. To ensure you receive a copy please let
us know you are coming a week before the class. This will ensure I have enough
copies; I do not want anyone to miss out.
If
you have an idea for an art work you want to work on in class, bring it.
Knowing which Nib works best for your choice of script, including what size
will improve it, so bring your workbook to put your examples in for future
reference.
Copics
will be used and if you can go to a Daiso shop buy their black gel pens 0.38;
these are fabulous.
