Victorian pointed pen flourishing, also called “off-hand flourishing,” is the shining star of 19th century pen work. In this workshop, students will learn basic strokes and simple flourishing techniques, and then combine them into delicate vines, leaves, berries, wheat sheaves, feathers, wreaths, and floral bouquets. Known for its repertoire of graceful curves and gentle ovals, this visually beautiful art form is both rewarding and...
Watercolor for Absolute Beginners
Ever wanted to create your own watercolor cards for the holidays? You can paint each one individually, or create one image (any size) and use it to have cards made with an online printing service. It's easier than you think. This workshop will demo at least 5 holiday designs and variations, mostly non-denominational (candles, pine trees, holly, winter forest, ornament, wreath, etc). You'll learn how to use table salt to create snow effects as well....
This course is an introduction to Textura, the northern European form of blackletter, that is mistakenly known as Old English. Textura is frequently described as having the appearance of a “picket fence” because, unlike its Rotunda, its southern European counterpart, its minuscules are almost entirely devoid of curved strokes. Its power derives from its effect en masse. Textura is at its most impressive when it is tightly packed with minimal...
Our class is about exploration and the only requirement is an adventurous spirit. Beginning with a series of structured yet experimental exercises, you will create unique, contemporary alphabetic forms grounded in the venerable tradition of decorated letters. Your letters will run the gamut from elegant to edgy, whimsical, bold to fragile. Our work sequence begins with black and white, then moves into color, and includes paper cutting, painting...
Since the birth of the particularly free-wheeling art form known as psychedelia was created 50 years ago, let's take this opportunity to celebrate by letting that freedom, color, flowing detail, and exuberance inspire our calligraphy. Inspiration has ALWAYS been a factor in artwork, no matter how classic or traditional the form may have appeared, and We believe that it will enhance the kind of work you do as well, whatever the style. We're not looking...
We’ll take an intense, deep journey into this hand, “Cancellaresca Corsiva,” born in the sixteenth century and still flourishing. It is lyrical but legible; elegant though useful, but it is difficult to see truly. Many have looked but few have seen. We’ll cover minuscules, majuscules, spacing, rhythm. You’ll take away an exercise which will change how you see and will show you how to become your own teacher. There will be an abundance...
You’ve taken Italic or Copperplate — so now what?! How do you use what you’ve learned? A strong design and layout can make even beginning calligraphy look great, so even if you’re just starting out, this class is for you! Basic design principles will be covered as each student works to complete a small project--perhaps a holiday gift or card? Tips for combining different sizes and weights of lettering to create attractive layouts will...
In this workshop, we will look at italic, foundational/carolingian minuscules and italic hands to explore how we can vitalize them using advanced techniques like pen angle manipulation, pressure variation and retouching/building up of the strokes. By making the strokes themselves more dynamic and varied, we can ultimately apply this technique to any writing style. We will also look at so called script typefaces (typefaces based on calligraphy) to...
This workshop will be a fast-paced intensive intermediate class for students who have taken at least a beginning class in Italic; more seasoned scribes can take it as a brush-up. We’ll review letterforms and pay special attention to pen angle, slant, and spacing — consistency, grace, and crisp hairlines are the goal. We’ll work our way down from a #2.5 Mitchell nib (or 1.5 Brause or C-4 Speedball) nib, to a much smaller nib. Please bring a...

This contemporary letterform is known as BONE, because of the bone-like shape of the basic pen-manipulated stroke. BONE is a wonderful exercise in pen twisting and designing … (read more...)the spaces within and around the letters. The letters are fun to write and are the perfect casual choice for many creative projects. In this workshop, students will learn the script and explore its variations and expressive applications. Some experience...
How much have you ever wrestled with the least used of the classic Roman hands? It's so eccentric and the one that's farthest outside the Roman writing system. But its eccentricities offer us the most exciting chance to surprise ourselves and to create something unique when it does get mixed with classic hands and contemporary techniques. We will embrace and mine the traditional approach, but jettison the past for the new when it suits us. New letters...

This workshop is not for the faint of heart. Ramp up your existing pointed pen style by learning the detailed principles and structure of successfully super-flourished script capital letters, indepth techniques and alternate stroke combinations.

With exercises to loosen your hand and challenge your...
Having previously taught his “Journey into Blackletter” course for the Society of Scribes, Luca Barcellona—one of the foremost practitioners of blackletter today—now returns with a follow-up class that focuses on the fraktur form and its variations. The world of blackletter, or so-called “gothic writing,” is incredibly wide and varied. The forms of these letters lend themselves well to beautiful and imaginative variations. In the previous...
New York School of the Arts @ Online Classroom, New York, NY
In this course, we produce multiple prints with different designs with linocut plates and add 1-colour for each design (If you like multiple colours, go for it!). Having a bold black printed outline stands out more with other mediums and the entire artwork becomes crisp and tight. Carving requires good patience during production, but the result is absolutely rewarding. How ink embodies your plate in two-dimensional artwork is a surprise, and it’s...
