For students interested in learning historic broad-edge calligraphy styles such as Roman, Italic, Uncial, and Blackletter (Gothic), the Foundational hand is the best place to start. You will learn all the elements of working with a metal dip pen with a flat-edge nib that creates the beautiful shapes of classical letters. In this class, we will review the tools of the trade and how to prepare them, how to set up your workspace, making the basic shapes, then creating letters based on the letter families. We will also learn simple Roman capitals. The class will end with a final project of the students' choosing such as a pangram sentence or an alphabet word list.
Links will be provided to YouTube videos for access to the class recordings. Links to a Handout and Homework Dropbox will be provided.
