This two-part LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for improvers and intermediate calligraphers. All students will need to have experience of writing basic italic to benefit from this workshop.
Workshop details
Join Gaynor Goffe for this two-part workshop where she will teach you how to make your italic more rhythmical & flowing and then enhance it with flourishes.
In week 1, Gaynor will demonstrate how to get your basic italic more rhythmical, how to use basic flourishes on ascenders, descenders, line beginnings and endings for italic minuscule, and how to use them in words and text. There will also be lay-out demonstrations to help you achieve a harmonious structure for your work.
Week 2 will start with an opportunity for students to receive individual feedback from Gaynor on any work from week 1's workshop and will then be followed by further demonstrations on a wider range of flourishes.
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop
Materials are not included in the course fee.
Students are encouraged to have the materials to hand to work alongside Gaynor as she demonstrates in both of these classes. There is no pressure to share your work with the class, but there will be plenty of opportunities to receive feedback as you go along if you wish.
After the demo you will get a link to watch the recording, which is available for 30 days; allowing you to work along at your own pace and at a time that suits you best.
For sharpening nib (optional but recommended) – sheet of wet & dry grey sandpaper 1200 or 1000 grade from a DIY or tool shop, cut a smallish piece approx. 2” square from the A4 sheet, or fine grade small Arkansas stone if you already have one.
For securing a slip-on reservoir (optional but recommended) – small reel of Micropore sticky medical tape from chemists.
