Tutor: Simon Sonsino
10am - 4pm
This one-day, onsite workshop is designed for a range of abilities, including absolute beginners.
Workshop Detail
You will work through a set of exercises creating abstract letterform with different mark-making tools (one of which you'll make yourself). This is a pressure-free zone - no rules and no rights or wrongs. You don’t need any calligraphic experience for this workshop as it doesn't rely on straight lines, neat handwriting or legibility. It's also suitable for people with experience in the lettering arts that wish to 'free-up' their style. You will come away with a series of inspirational samples as a reference for future work
Skills/Techniques Covered
Materials
All materials will be provided by the tutor. The approximate cost of these will be £5.00, payable to the tutor during the course. Your tutor can take card or cash for materials.
Please Bring With You
You are more than welcome to bring your own pens, papers and inks to experiment with.
We advise that you do not buy any materials required for a course more than two weeks in advance, because occasionally a course is cancelled due to low enrolment
