Although this art form has ancient roots, calligraphy is utilized today in various contemporary art practices. This workshop is designed to give you a taste of two significant calligraphy hands. During your first session, you will focus on Roman capitals, and your second session will spotlight humanistic minuscule. Over the two weeks, you will learn the history of both fonts, learn spacing and proportions, and learn how to utilize calligraphy tools and gouache to create your calligraphy alphabet.
