Calligraphy
Cancelled – will offer in future
Calligraphy is a word derived from the Greek meaning “beautiful writing”.
Calligraphy is a type of visual art and frequently called the art of fancy lettering. Nowadays, a contemporary definition of calligraphy is “the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner”. Modern calligraphy continues to flourish in the forms of wedding and event invitations, font design/typography, original hand-lettered logo design, religious art, announcements/graphic design/commissioned calligraphic art, cut stone inscriptions and memorial documents, birth and death certificates, maps, and other works involving writing. Some of the finest works of modern calligraphy are charters and letters patent issued by monarchs and officers of state in various countries.
In this workshop, you will learn to write a variation of the Uncial calligraphy style, one of the oldest calligraphy styles in the world. You will use a Sanford Calligraphy Pen to practice the stroke order and perfect your alphabet. Materials are supplied and include: Sanford Calligraphic Pen & paper for you to use during the workshop.
All you need is a positive attitude and a little perseverance. This is a great way to practice your fine motor skills and master an ancient art at the same time!
