    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.

    About Andrea: Andrea is a freelance calligrapher & book artist from Germany. She´s working on commissions on a wide field of sign-painting, lettering, logo-design and murals.

Her art is shown both nationally and worldwide and is part of private and public collections like the Berlin calligraphy collection, the Center of Book Arts, San Francisco & the Int. Museum for Cont.

      ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: 

      Developed by Edward Johnston (1872-1944) in the mid-1920s, Gothicized Italic is a versatile and practical Gothic hand that combines the advantageous elements of other Blackletter styles, such as the tall, slender forms of the Texturas, and the pointed character of the o's and arches that energize the Gothic Cursives and Batardes.


      This broad-edged style is also known as "Pointed Gothic," "Heavy Italic," and "Johnston's Compressed Hand."  The late Sheila Waters (1929-2022) further developed this style into a more vigorous and lively script, making it an immediate favorite among scribes all over the world.


      In this class, we will learn:

      Broad pen basics

      Characteristics that define Gothicized Italic as a Gothic script as well as what sets it apart from other Blackletter styles

      Stroke-by-stroke formation of minuscules and majuscules

      Spacing, simple variations and flourishes

      The workshop will be recorded and available for two months.

      SUGGESTED EXPERIENCE: Beginner through advanced.

      ABOUT NINA: Nina Tran is a calligrapher and a mom of 3 based in Los Angeles, CA.  She teaches pointed pen and broad-edged scripts with a focus on Copperplate, Spencerian, and Gothic scripts, including Gothic Cursive, Textura, and Fraktur.  When she is not writing at her desk, she enjoys reading, sketching, knitting, and hiking.

      Thursdays, May 2, 9, 16 & 23, 2024  6-8pm PDT

      This is your opportunity to enjoy time in the virtual studio with former White House chief calligrapher, Rick Paulus, as he shares traditional methods, techniques and tricks of the trade as you move your own projects forward.

      ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: The process of placing text on a page in a meaningful way can be a daunting leap for one who has never attempted to do so. This comprehensive studio work- shop is designed to introduce beginner and intermediate calligraphers to the process of creating a finished piece. Through a series of independent assignments, Rick will gently guide you through the steps of taking your work from concept to completion using easily acquired methods and processes. Demonstrations and guided exercises will introduce the use of watercolor, gouache, masking fluid, gold leaf, and a range of papers.
      Workshop will be recorded and available for two months.

      LEVEL: Beginner to intermediate. Beginners should be familiar with the use of a dip pen. Knowledge of a formal hand is helpful but not required.

      ABOUT RICK: Rick Paulus has been a calligrapher and a teacher for over forty years. He apprenticed for several years at the legendary Tolley Studios, in Washington, DC, before becoming the engrosser for the US State Department. In 1998, he was appointed chief calligrapher of the White House, where he remained for two presidents until, in 2006, he heeded the call of the wild and left Washington, DC to explore new adventures in nature and in art. Today, in addition to enjoying calligraphic explorations from his studio nestled near the shores of Buzzard’s Bay, Massachusetts, Rick is dedicated to sharing the knowledge gained through many years of studio production and experimentation to students young and old alike.

      Fun fact: Founding member, Larry Brady, designed the logo for the La Mirada Theater.

      As conceived by founding member, Kitty Maryatt, the plan is for you, as an attendee, to bring a favorite piece of calligraphy you own, by another artist. We'll display it on tables or easels, or even leaning against a wall. We'll mingle and discuss the art <smile>. (Please don't worry if you don't have anything to bring--others will be happy to bring more than one!). We plan to provide hor d'euvres and beverages!

      ABOUT  THE WORKSHOP: Good design, says artist Irene Au, is like a refrigerator—when it works no one notices, but when it doesn’t, it stinks. This workshop is designed to help artists of all skill levels who use letters and letterforms better understand composition and the elements and principles of design. You will come away with a better understanding of design essentials and some layout tips of special interest to lettering artists. The workshop will include many handouts, demos, and exercises to build your design skills. The three-session course will also include a review of work a couple weeks following the instruction to give you time to complete work. Details to Follow

      ABOUT MIKE: Mike Gold worked as a commercial lettering designer for over 35 years, mostly in the social expressions business. But his real passion is exploring the corridors of calligraphy that have been less traveled, the path where words and letters are design elements with which to play with line, shape and form, where creating a visual statement is more important than writing a readable text. In both his professional and personal art, Mike breaks traditional rules to create contemporary, non-traditional work.

      Mike has an M.A. in Visual Communications and has studied with many outstanding lettering and design masters over the years. Mike has taught around the country and at several international calligraphy conferences. His personal work has been featured in Letter Arts Review many times over the past 25-plus years. He has been a juror for the Letter Arts Review annual and his work is in many private collections, including the Berlin Calligraphy Archive. He is the author of Lines to Live By (available through John Neal, Bookseller), which is Mike's take on being a non-traditional calligrapher in the 21st century. 

      EXPERIENCE: Beginner to Advanced (Some lettering experience is helpful) All levels

      Workshop will be recorded and available for four months.
