The lively character and contemporary look of Pointed Brush letters make them enjoyable to write and give this script practical and creative use.This workshop will introduce students to the potential of the pointed brush as a calligraphic tool. Beginning with a study of a basic script based upon Italic pen letters, students will then move on to experiment with increasingly free variations. Consideration will be given to creative applications as original work, reproduced work and layout possibilities.
This class is open to beginners; no experience with pen or brush necessary. The basic instruction will enable beginners to explore the joy of making beautiful letters by hand. A More experienced student will benefit from study of this simple, yet intricate form of calligraphy.
