Viva Lloyd - CNUT SCRIPT
We will be studying the writing of Eadui Basan (Edward the
Fat) who was a monk in Canterbury in the early 11th Century and worked for King
Cnut. The hand is a variation of English Carolingian and makes our traditional
Foundational far more interesting.

Sally Mangum -
Copperplate
Here is a chance to try your hand at this increasingly
popular script. Sally has worked as a copperplate calligrapher for many years
and is coming to show us some of her techniques with the pointed pen. This
workshop is suitable for beginners and also those with some experience.

THIS WORKSHOP WILL TAKE PLACE AT
THE V&A MUSEUM
Cherrell Avery
- Gold and
Colour
This experimental workshop is a “golden” opportunity to be
inspired by studying artefacts first hand and then to use contemporary gilding
and paint and ink techniques to create unusual and striking backgrounds and
layers to complement your calligraphy. We will begin by studying some Indian
manuscripts and Renaissance panels before returning to the studio to learn about
the materials and begin exploring different techniques. You will gain confidence
using gold, metal leaf and colour and use your new skills to create a small
finished piece.
Saturday 26 May 2012
Rosella Garavaglia
- Broad
edged brush lettering
In this workshop we will explore the versatility of the
broad edged brush as a writing tool and experience the sense of freedom that
this flexible tool inspires. We will develop a working brush-script that will
allow for endless variations. The more experienced brush-writer will concentrate
on experimenting with letter-shapes, variations of size, weight and colour. The
workshop will give you an introduction to the skill of manipulating the flexible
bristles to make marks, letters, words and lines of text.

Penny Price
- Colour in
Calligraphy
What colour shall I use and what will go with it? By doing
some colour explorations with a few colours we can discover a whole new world
waiting for us in our paint boxes! A practical workshop both understanding
colour and then using it in a project.
