    ABOUT  THE WORKSHOP: We will take a look at the history of the Italic hand, the tools and materials used, and the various techniques to create a script that is both powerful and beautiful. 

    Welcome to this workshop where we'll cover the basics of italic! Our focus is on the Italic hand and how to use the broad-edged pen as our primary tool. We'll start by looking at the construction of letters, developing good proportions and rhythm, and exploring how to write texts that are pleasing to the eye. Our approach is slow and concentrated, allowing us to take the time to fully immerse ourselves in the craft. 

    Through practice and dedication, we will gain the knowledge to take our formal lettering to the next level. 

    By the end of the workshop, we hope to have developed the skills necessary to create a refined and elegant script.

    ABOUT ELMO: He was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He studied at the Rotterdamse Grafische School (school for printing and graphic arts) and finished his study of graphic and typographic design at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. In 1986, Elmo attended a workshop in France with Claude Mediavilla and considers this his start on the path of calligraphy. He has taught workshops in different countries in Europe, as well as in Australia, South Korea, Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.. Elmo has also taught a post-graduate course in type design at The Royal Academy of Arts. After graduating from the Academy, he worked as a freelance type designer for DTL, and worked as a graphic designer. He has exhibited calligraphy in Belgium, France, South Korea and the Netherlands and has also had work published in several publications.

    January 13, 2024 - February 3, 2024, 8:00 am-10:00 am PST

    About the Workshop: We will look at the classic Versal letter, a letter so adaptable as to allow all sorts of decorative elements.  We will focus on the use of 23K gold, drawing the versal letter and looking at the elements of the letter that make it so bold and unique.  Then we will paint the letter in watercolor, paint its background, perhaps a diaper pattern or a damascene pattern, one of Rosemary's favorites.  Then we will go beyond the letter and work on a simple vine to tie it all together.  
         We will take a look at contemporary sizes used to apply 23K gold in both raised and flat methods of application.  These contemporary sizes have a simple method and we will go through that step by step so that each student will be able to successfully apply gold leaf to any of their designs.  
         Next we will take a look at painting the letter with interesting detail and apply flourishes to finish it off.  We will complete a beautifully ornamented letter by the finish."

    Workshop will be recorded.

    About Rosemary Buczek:  Rosemary graduated from Caldwell College, New Jersey, in 1971 with a Bachelors in Fine Arts. She began freelance work from her home and in 1987 formally opened her studio, "The Gilded Quill".

      PRESENTER: Viktor Kams (In-Person Workshop)



      SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)


      COURSE DESCRIPTION: 

      This class is the result of a series of studies and practices inspired mostly by the work of late German calligraphers Hans Schreiber and Hanns Thaddaus Hoyer, whose work was introduced to me by Carl Rohrs at the 2019 conference in Montreal.


      I have tried to develop my own technique to build up these double stroke letters one stroke at a time as opposed to what we can achieve by writing with a scroll pen. Therefore, the intention of this technique is to have more control over every little detail of each letter, like where and how to start and end each stroke and the amount of space between strokes in certain parts of the letter.

      The class starts with an introduction to classic Fraktur calligraphy. My personal version of this  gothic hand it’s inspired by the work of Hermann Zapf and Claude Mediavilla but it is also influenced by the teachings of contemporary master John Stevens.


      Once the students are comfortable and confident with their Fraktur practice we will start exploring the technique I use to build the double stroke letters. We will work on letters and words and will progress to create Headers, tittles, logos or Lock ups to work on ways to apply this to real work at the same time that we can combine it with text exercises of Fraktur.


      I will do a series of demonstrations showing different tools like pens and brushes and how I work with each one of them.


      By the end of the class students will be encouraged to create one or more final pieces applying their choice of techniques learnt during the workshop so we can make a group review of everyone’s work and debate about each student's choices and the challenges presented by them.

      ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: This class is the result of a series of studies and practices inspired mostly by the work of late German calligraphers Hans Schreiber and Hanns Thaddaus Hoyer, whose work was introduced to me by Carl Rohrs.

      We build up these double stroke letters one stroke at a time, rather than limiting ourselves to the effects of a scroll pen.

      Saturday-Sunday, March 9-10 & 23-24  10am-12pm PST/PDT

      About the workshop: 

      Letters act as practical and useful signs, but also as pure and inner melody -Wassily Kandinsky

      Pure form, the quality of the line and the ornamental potential of writing - this is what it´s all about in this class. We will play with letterform variations, experiment with layout-ideas and then finish it all up with a spark of gold.

         Basic alphabet will be the Antiqua-letterforms - even if you haven´t tried writing them yet, your eye is used to them. We will use them and play with them, transform them and create new compositions. Step-by-step through the creative process up to a series of works.

         We will incorporate gold, will learn about some glittering effects, highlighting certain areas and a very easy way of gilding. Let´s have fun!

      The workshop will be recorded and available for two months.

      Experience Level: Beginner through advanced.
