This workshop is designed just for you! Learn the elegant Italic letterforms that developed during the 15th century Italian Renaissance. We’ll cover letter, word and line spacing; learn tips and tricks for working successfully with broad edged pens; and discuss layout & design principles. As time permits, we’ll use Zoom tools and features to “share” student work for feedback. Additional insights for left-handers! This is a four-session (3 hours each) online workshop via Zoom.
This workshop is for Friends of the Alphabet exclusively, and will be limited to 20 students. The workshop fee is $95, payable to Friends of the Alphabet. If you know someone who is not in the Guild, but would like to learn more about Italic and broad edge pens, please share this information. They are welcome to join the Guild for the usual membership fee of $24 in addition to the $95 workshop fee (total $119).
