There are two workshops associated with this exhibition:
“The Shapes of Letters for Calligraphy and Beyond”– Wednesday 30th October, 1pm to 3pm, The Summit Community Centre, 4 Crescent Drive, Norton Summit.
In this workshop we will explore the shapes and relationships of letter forms in the traditional Roman and Foundational alphabets. You will discover how beautifully proportioned letters are constructed and form a template for understanding the various “hands” or styles of calligraphy and lettering. You will create your own uppercase alphabet, the Majuscules, and lowercase alphabet, the Minuscules. The knowledge and insight into letter shapes and proportions gained from this workshop will be a useful addition to the repertoire of artists who work with letters on paper and other media, including textiles and ceramics – in fact anyone who uses lettering in their arts and crafts.
