About this event
This workshop will teach you so many FUN, generally EASY decorative techniques
to enhance your calligraphy and art projects
that your biggest problem will be deciding which one to use next!
Topics to be covered include:
- Drop shadows
- Borders
- Stand-alone ornaments
- Two-tone letters
- Double-stroke letters
- Leaf-and-vine designs
- Lombardic capitals
- Celtic knots
- insular decoration (the decorative style used in the Book of Kells)
- Sickels lettering style (a simple blocky style)
- Traditional white vine
- ... and more!
The Decorated Letter 1, Decorated Letter 2, and Decorated Letter 3 workshops are all what could be called "taste-testing" courses.
These workshops offer you an opportunity to try out each artistic technique for a week or so at a relatively easy level, and then move on to a new technique.
If you like the technique of the week, you can then go on and study it in greater depth later, at your leisure.
If the technique isn't to your taste, you don't have to spend any more time on it.
Only minimal calligraphy experience is required!
The techniques have a wider application than just calligraphy(painted borders, for example), and include both traditional and contemporary approaches.
Many of the photos accompanying this listing are of homework projects created by students in this class.
