This is a 1-day Workshop (4+ hours) taught by Cora Pearl
Edward Johnston, often referred to as the father of modern calligraphy, reinvigorated calligraphy the 20th century. Among other things, he is known for developing the Foundational style of calligraphy. He based the Foundational hand on the medieval prototype of the Ramsey Psalter, a 10th century book of psalms. This legible script contains letters that are full, round, and well built. The name Foundational suits this style of writing well, as it forms a strong basis for the study of other styles of writing. This class is meant for students of calligraphy who would like to revisit and tune up their skills with writing Foundational calligraphy, and for students who have some experience using the broad edge nib. We work with this script in a variety of ways to deepen understanding and skill with this hand. This workshop is not appropriate for students who have never used a broad edged nib or for students who have very little experience using it.
This Workshop is available to view through June 1, 2022.
