SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Travel back several decades and enjoy these unique and whimsical alphabets that became popular in the 1970s. These hands greatly influenced many calligraphers at the time, but they are just as relevant today as they were then.
In this 4-hour workshop, the focus will be to move the pen angle to create interesting letter strokes. Two alphabet variations will be introduced. Through study and practice of these unique shapes, students may be inspired to take their own lettering to a new level.

About this workshop: In our Who's Afraid of Rudolf Koch? workshop, we explored Rudolf's world of expressive gothic letterforms. Now it's time to have a closer look at his unique use of color and ornament. He had his own style in decorating by creating powerful ornaments and initials. Let's find out what it's all about & how we can use them for our own contemporary gothic projects. If you've already been a student in Who's Afraid of Rudolf Koch?, you're a Rudolf Koch addict anyway, or maybe you have some experience with gothic lettering? Perfect! This class will add some extras to your gothic lettering. Level: intermediate, must have some knowledge in Gothic/Blackletter

Workshop Description:
Circles........no beginning - no end.......looking around us we can see circular designs everywhere. As lettering artists they also provide a way for us to step away from the 'straight base line' and create something different - something fresh!
In this workshop we will look at circles differently and how to incorporate circles into our lettering designs and lettering into our circle designs. We will stretch, pull and push the boundaries of what we think is possible in order to create something that is unique!
'Free Writing' will be addressed and encouraged - Susie will walk you through her process and explain why she often uses this form of writing.
There will be many samples of ideas for you to enjoy and be inspired by.
Circles, like the soul, are never-ending and turn round and round without a stop. Ralph Waldo-Emerson

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: Learn how to letter with a bamboo stylus. Students will watch a detailed demonstration on how the stylus is handcrafted. Participants will make their own stylus from prepared components in the workshop. Learn a beautiful modified Italic miniscule alphabet. Discover the nuances of the finest hairlines, bold sweeping strokes with wispy endings with a single tool. Pointed pen applications with the stylus will also be explored. This workshop is open to all levels, although some lettering experience is helpful.
ABOUT ED: Ed Fong is a Los Angeles City Council Graphics lettering artist for more than 36 years, began a lifelong passion for lettering at the age of 11 under the mentorship of his father Roy K.

This lively Uncial variation is easily learned and has the cursive qualities that give it such an energetic and contemporary look. This class will give you a renewed appreciation of this important historic script and a delightful new style of calligraphy to generate creativity and inspiration. Some experience with broad-edged pen calligraphy is needed.
ABOUT CAROL DUBOSCH:
Any day that I can open a bottle of ink, is a good day. It gets even better if I can create art, make a mark-making tool, or teach what I know to someone. Words are my muse and I love being able to use them as a lettering artist. When I hear the words, I ponder them, and savor them for a spell and then interact with them using art materials. It is absolutely the best job ever.
I have been a calligrapher in Portland, Oregon since I was first introduced to nibs and ink in 1959 as a high school art student. In the 58 years since, I have gained a degree in Graphic Design and have studied with every major calligrapher in the US and Europe. I have been teaching college level and private classes in the Northwest along with workshops throughout the United States and most recently in Italy. I have directed three International Calligraphy Conferences in Portland, bringing 500 scribes together for a week of studying and sharing.
I am interested in every aspect of the field of calligraphy, from the formal invitation to writing on walls. I enjoy seeking out ways to stretch the boundaries of my art. As a life-long learner, I am always looking forward to the next new thing.

Saturday, September 24, Time: 9:45 AM - 2:00 PM, with approx. 30 minutes for lunch.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: Romanesque Stitch books are beautiful and unusual exposed-spine books. The workshop instruction is based on Shereen LaPlantz’s description of the binding in Bound and Lettered magazine. Romanesque Stitch books open flat, which makes them perfect for sketchbooks, cookbooks, guest books, and journals. In this workshop, we will make a book, approximately 5 ½” x 6 ½”, with boards covered in decorative paper and containing a text block of 158 pages of text weight paper.
Students may purchase an optional kit for $30 which includes paper, board and thread. This price covers USPS domestic shipping. Registrants will all receive a detailed supply list of tools and materials (glue for example) students will need to gather and will also give dimensions for the materials in the kits for those who don’t purchase them. Some preparation before class will be required and described fully (cover the board with decorative paper and fold the signatures).
The focus of the instruction will be the Romanesque Stitch; basic bookbinding information will not be given much attention. For this reason, the workshop may be more approachable for those with some bookbinding experience. However, beginners are more than welcome!
WORKSHOP WILL BE RECORDED AND AVAILABLE FOR ONE MONTH.
Cost $35.
OPTIONAL KITS for purchase at $30 (domestic shipping only). To help ensure timely delivery, the cutoff date to order is August 31, 2022.

The ruling pen was designed to create technical drawings, but for several years now it has become a very popular tool amongst calligraphers. And not without reason; it is great fun to write with it. It is a versatile tool, capable of creating a wide range of forms, from dark and dense shapes to light and frivolous letters. A ruling pen can make your letters whisper and scream!
In this workshop, we will use the ruling pen intensively. You will learn techniques to use it - from formal to informal, expressive to controlled. Positions of holding the pen, arm/wrist movement, and writing speed are features which influence your lettering. We will focus on these aspects, always with attention to the quality of line and form.
Level: Intermediate to Advanced

During this workshop we fully concentrate on hand-drawn letters. We will use various drawing techniques, such as pencil, broad-edged pen, pointed pen and brush with gouache/watercolor.
Through helpful exercises you will be able to expand your knowledge about several aspects of drawing letters, its possibilities, proportions, elegance and detail.
We will focus on form similarities and different contrasts and learn about all kinds of varieties which are possible within the three basic forms roman, cursive and capital. With or without serifs, playful or more strict, bold, light, big, small, narrow and wide, smooth or rough….
While drawing our letters, we shall always fall back on the written letter which in most cases will be our starting point.
You will learn how to apply the hand-drawn letter (large and small format) in some compositions during layout exercises.

About the workshop: My teachers were the Medieval artists who made the manuscripts that enthrall us today. Having deciphered their techniques by scrutiny and experiment, I employed their ingenious improvisatory decorations in my own calligraphy work. These are the easiest and most improvisational Versal techniques, which is why they are so abundant in Medieval manuscripts. Like any improvisatory style, they have basic rules, but once these simple rules and methods are mastered, then the designs can grow organically. Workshop will be recorded and available for a month, afterward.
About Mark: Mark Van Stone spent 1972, in Ireland and Britain, studying his first love, Celtic Manuscripts. Then, for two decades, he taught his signature Illumination and Historic Scripts workshops across North America and Europe.
He delved further into ancient scripts and in 1989, a Guggenheim Fellowship took him around the world studying inscriptions in Egypt, Turkey, and Southeast Asia.
Along the way, his interest in carved writing led to a stint in 1988-89, working as a clay-animator at Will Vinton Studios—those from that era will remember those California Raisins--and, in 1982-83, an apprenticeship with a master Netsuke-Carver Saito Bishu in Japan.
Mark also worked as a disk jockey and interviewer for WUNH-FM in Durham, New Hampshire in 1975-77. What started as a lark to get backstage to talk to rock stars; led to interviews with authors, activists, and presidential candidates.
Mark's interest in ancient scripts took him back to graduate school in 1996. A doctorate from the University of Texas in Maya Hieroglyphs, led to teaching History of Art at Southwestern College in Southern California, since 2002.

Instructor: Yukimi Annand - REGISTRATION OPENING SOON
Workshop Description: In this workshop we will play with line shape and movement by creating one-stroke letters based on Roman capitals. Our form development will be contemporary rather than traditional, and we ill play with decorative patterns and colors in harmony.
The first half of the class: making variations of one-stroke letters with a pencil or a fine line marker. Then we will move to the ruling pen and/or folded pen to draw them with Sumi ink. We will try to get a nice balance on each letter, and write words and text with rhythm and movement.
The second half of the class: we will apply different decorative patterns based on historical and nature forms on the letters with a fine-line marker or a pointed nib. Choosing the space to decorate and to add colors (with watercolor or watercolor pencil) will be fun!
First half of class will run from 10am - 12:00pm, we will have a one hour lunch break, then Second half of class will run from 1:00pm - 3:00pm.
A zoom recording of the workshop will be made available to registered and paid participants for up to 30 days from the workshop date.

Presenter: Yukimi Annand
About the workshop: A folded pen is a versatile tool that can be used as a drawing tool, a writing tool and a mark-making tool. It is a magical tool that allows us to express our own feelings in strokes and marks.
On the first day of the workshop, we start with writing random weighted letters and make textures with them by following basic folded pen exercises. Then we will explore with different sample letterforms to make unique calligraphic textures. On the second day of the workshop, the color blending technique will be presented and we will make textures with colors. In the course of the workshop, basic design, layout and composition will be presented, and we will make several experimental calligraphic pieces.
Good for all Levels. Workshop will be recorded and available for a month.
