Calligraphy: Layout for Dummies
online calligraphy class
Mon 12th October
10am - 12pm UK Time
Tutor: Mary Noble
Bookings Close: 28 Sept
This ONLINE class is suitable for beginners & improvers.
We all want to show our calligraphy off to its best advantage, we just need to know how, whether it’s for an official notice or a favourite poem.
If the words hold special significance, we may want to enhance the meaning, or in some cases to intrigue the reader to look closer.
In this class, Mary Noble will show you how best to draw thumbnail sketches and make cut-and-paste (the original scissors-and-glue method!), playing about with traditional layouts and then developing more dynamic arrangements. In every case the aim is to make an attractive composition.
And for fun at the end, we’ll also write on wavy lines, create a spiral, and make simple background effects with pastels for that extra decorative element.
