WORKSHOP FOR MARCH 2023

 SAVE THE DATE

MARCH 18-19, 2023

GOTHICIZED ITALIC WITH CAROL DUBOSCH


Save the Date!! The Michiana Calligraphy Guild will be sponsoring an online workshop with Carol DuBosch on Saturday, March 18 and Sunday, March 19, 2023.  More details will be coming soon as well as instructions on how to register.  


This lively, rhythmic Gothic script borrows elements from Italic, Foundational and Blackletter. It is a hybrid style of writing that creates a page that is both energetic and traditional. It is surprisingly easy to learn, and will quickly become your favorite. The Gothicized Italic capitals can be simple or very ornate, and they can stand alone in any design layout as rich initial capitals. The workshop will focus on learning the script, and then move to explore simple layouts, color, and other practical uses for these elegant calligraphic letters. Carol will discuss and demonstrate color-blending techniques using Winsor & Newton inks. Some experience with an edged pen would be helpful for this workshop.


Details to follow shortly.
