This 3 day workshop is another in the series of workshops especially for people beginning their calligraphic learning Journey.

In this workshop we will be looking at a different way of making letters: by drawing them. This is not a new way of creating letterforms - in Medieval times monks made their versals first by outlining and then filling in their letters. There are so many manipulations and pen lifts that the act of writing was replaced by the act of drawing. The main goal of this workshop is to take up the techniquie of drawing, to make use of it to create our own letters.

It will be helpful if you have an understanding of the proportions of Roman capitals. A practice sheet will be provided prior to the class to help you refresh your knowledge.
