BASIC BLACK LETTER:  TEXTURA

Textura, the classical Gothic script of Germany, France and the other northern European countries, flourished in the 12th through 15th centuries.  Simple and precise, it is the basis of many of the subsequent Gothic forms of calligraphy, including the contemporary Gothicized Italic script.  Textura is also an important introduction to the calligraphy of many of the finest illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages.  In this workshop, we will learn the characteristic forms of this ancient script and then will practice a looser, more informal approach to this most precise of all alphabets.  This is a workshop in minuscules only.

GOTHICIZED ITALIC is a modern Black Letter script that combines the grace and legibility of Italic with the density and ornamental qualities of Gothic calligraphy.  Based on Edward Johnston's "Black Italic", this alphabet can be used as a conte…

GOTHICIZED ITALIC is a modern Black Letter script that combines the grace and legibility of Italic with the density and ornamental qualities of Gothic calligraphy.  Based on Edward Johnston's "Black Italic", this alphabet can be used as a contemporary substitute for the hard-to-read Gothic scripts of the middle Ages.  Gothicized Italic is a minuscule alphabet that can be combined successfully with various capital letter styles.  It is one of the most beautiful variations on the ever-popular Gothic calligraphic styles.

(SOLD OUT) COPPERPLATE FLOURISHING

The addition of flourishes to a page or even a line of Copperplate adds an individual decorative quality to the alphabet.  Through a series of pencil exercises and simple drawing techniques, students are introduced to some of the basic forms and patterns of 18th century Copperplate flourishes and cartouches.  In this workshop, students learn to choose how, when and where to use flourishing in order to create a visually exciting layout.

COPPERPLATE BOOTCAMP

This workshop provides an in-depth review of the basics, with an emphasis on improving skills, exploring letter variations and developing an understanding of positive and negative space by focusing on "spacing," the essential element that separates beginners from more skilled calligraphers.  We will discuss some of the rules that can be broken -- or stretched -- and others that cannot.  The aim of the class is for Copperplate calligraphers at all levels not only to improve their personal skill level, but to develop the ability to move forward through informed practice and self-critique.

  • Offhand Flourishing (1-day Program) April 13th, 2017, 10.00 - 17.00
  • Beginning Spencerian (2-day Program)  April 14th - 15th, 2017, 10.00 - 17.00

    20 seats only per class

Offhand Flourishing Workshlp: Although the letters and words of American penmanship created the legendary writing styles of the Golden Age of Penmanship, it was the dramatic, delicate and complex designs of Off-Hand Flourishing that captured the attention of everyone who wanted to become skilled in decorative handwriting. In our workshop, students will be introduced to the patterns of this remarkable writing technique, from simple cartouches to bird designs that seem ready to fly off of the page. Techniques of compound curvature, multiple and spiraling curves, and the secret of Superscription will be brought to life by Master Penman Michael Sull. Original specimens of vintage flourishing and Ornamental penmanship will be on hand for study. 

Beginning Spencerian Workshop : Beginning with an overview of the fundamental principles of movement, curvature, contrast and variability, emphasis on the correct use of the hand and arm muscles, proper posture, pen, points, ink and paper position will be explained in detail. Thorough instruction in the lowercase and capital letters, followed by student practice with Cross-Drill exercises, single letters, words and sentences will give each student a comprehensive introduction to this unique form of vintage penmanship. As an added benefit, Michael will have a rare scrapbook of original penmanship specimens from the famous Master Penmen to share with the students throughout the workshop. Michael's handmade oblique penholders, as well as other supplies will be available for purchase. Come join us for this very special opportunity to learn this amazing style of 19th century handwriting! Handouts will be also provided.

Ornamental Penmanship (Advanced Spencerian) Workshop: After the steel pen point was introduced in the second half of the 19th century, penmen delighted in transforming Spencerian Script into a highly decorative handwriting style that became known as Ornamental Penmanship. Dramatic shading of capital letters, multiple ovals and curves that twisted and turned, highly elaborate flourishing of both the lowercase and capitals and the addition of delicate non- lettering patterns such as plume, quill, scroll, cartouche and bird designs combined to make Ornamental Penmanship the most beautiful handwriting of Penmanship's Golden Age. In our workshop, students will be introduced to the techniques of writing this exquisite style that became known as the most beautiful handwriting of Western civilization. 
Original penmanship specimens and publications from America's Golden Age of Penmanship will be on display for study. This will be a rare opportunity to travel back in time and learn the secrets of Ornamental Penmanship!
