2A110 Calligraphy—Foundational Hand
-Adult- | Available
Foundational calligraphy was created at the beginning of the 20th century by Edward Johnston – regarded as the father of modern calligraphy. His style has become an essential tool for everyday products to new typefaces. Johnston called his calligraphy ‘foundational’ because he designed it to be a foundation for teaching and learning calligraphy. In this class, you’ll receive an introduction to calligraphy’s tools and techniques as you explore this lively cursive. The results are sure to deliver
an air of elegance and expressiveness to your correspondence, invitations and art designs. No previous skills required. Steel nib, holder and walnut ink will be provided. Bring your 3mm parallel pen if you have it. *Please note: there will be no class on September 30th*
