Course details
​Join Heather Held for an Advanced Alphabet Garden class as she shows you how to chase opulence in your illuminated letters in this brand-new, three-part course.

Over the course of the sessions, you will expand your knowledge of Lombardic letters and other styles that are perfect for ornamental designs. You will learn how to add inlay patterns to the letters, stylize their forms, add intricate rinceau extensions and pen flourished filigree.  Your final letter designs can extend into full borders to augment your calligraphic work.

You will learn how to draw, ink, gild, and paint these beautiful letters while expanding your skills with these intriguing designs. All skill levels are welcome, but the class will assume some experience in drawing letters as you take your Lombardic letters to a higher level.  If you have attended an Alphabet Garden class with Heather before, this is the perfect class for you!
 
Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online class information page. Helpful and easy to use, these private pages enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – before, during, and after class.  The link to access the page will be shared via email in the days leading up to the class.

We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.​​ For full terms and conditions, please click here.
