    PRETTY PAISLEY LETTERS  with Cecilia Boschi

    This SfC sponsored workshop will take place online with Zoom:  Sunday, January 5 & Sunday, January 12, 2025 from 9:00am - 11:30am, Pacific US Time,  for both sessions.

    WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

    In this short workshop, we will learn about the interesting design possibilities offered by a type of paisley decoration that was used in the 16th and 17th century. 

    These decorating elements, that look like a pattern, but are not, are particularly suitable to accompany the elegance of the magnificent Roman capitals used for monograms and drop caps at the beginning of a sentence or line.

    We will observe the shapes used originally and make them contemporary by drawing them with pointed nibs, tempera, watercolors and metallic pigments.

    Session 1 will be dedicated to the basic elements, shapes and to learning the general rules of a paisley design around a letter, compositions for separators or frames. In Session 2 we will build a paisley design together and go through troubleshooting, tips and tricks of paisley designs.

    Workshop Fee:  $55.00 -  no refunds.

    A zoom invitation/link will be sent a few days before the start of the workshop.


    Cecilia Boschi  lives in Italy; she graduated in foreign languages but has always held a special interest for visual arts. She started her calligraphy journey in 2013 specifically developing her eye for pointed pen styles. She has been a member of IAMPETH for several years and was awarded the IAMPETH Certificate of Proficiency in Engrossers (part of the new Master Penman Program) in April 2018 . She was one of the artists invited to do a demo at the 2022 IAMPETH Virtual Conference with Pointed Pen Roman Capitals. She runs classes and teaches private lessons for several calligraphic styles. Cecilia is the founder at CeciliaB Calligraphy offering her clients wedding and event calligraphy.

    WORKSHOP SUPPLY LIST:

    If you wish to work along with the Cecilia, please have the following with you:

    - Layout / cartridge / Fabriano Accademia or your favourite paper (A4 size will be fine for pencil drafts, smaller sized paper to ink your final work)

    - H pencil, sharpener, rubber

    - Ruler (10cm or longer)

    - Pen holder

    - Pointed nib (medium flexible pointed nib, avoid the Gillott303-Hunt101-Principal nibs for this class - crown nibs work best)

    - Either ink or diluted gouache / watercolour paint (if you’re using a fountain pen ink, please be sure to add a few drops of gum arabic to make it flow slowly off your nib)

    - Round, square or other shaped flat templates to create a design around your letter

    If you are going to use thin / lightweight paper such as layout, then you can use the sample letters/designs provided with the handout.  If not – it will save time to have a letter or two in Roman Capitals penciled, not taller than 1.5in (about 3cm) ready for session 2.


    Both sessions of this workshop will be recorded and the recording will be available until March 5, 2025.

    8 weeknight sessions with Barbara Close

    $85 - this discounted rate is a gift to our members. No refunds.

    Wednesdays, January 8, 15, 22, 29 and February 5, 12, 19, 26, 2025, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM (PST).

    WORKSHOP IS FULL. WAITLIST NOW CLOSED

    ABOUT THE SERIES:  We will be starting our workshop on Roman Studies with a serious look at the proportions of these beautiful majuscules. These letters have been immortalized by many throughout the ages and are considered one of the most important styles to master.

    Once this is understood, then we can start to “break some rules” and use them as our building blocks to develop further patterns such as squaring off Monoline tips and trying pointed pen nibs for great textures. We’ll have several exercises to explore for some exciting page designs.

    Level: Beginner/Intermediate

    We will make Padlet available for sharing work for critique, as well as with fellow students.  Recordings will be available for two months after the close of the series.

    Copperplate - A Systematic Approach with Jodi Denning




    Sponsored by San Diego SfC  

    Saturdays: January 11 & February 22,2025 at 9:00 AM to 2:10 PM (Pacific Time)

    Review on March 8, 2025 at 9:00 AM to 10.30AM (Pacific Time)

    $25     MEMBERS ONLY

    Due to the way our computer system works, registrations not immediately followed with payment will be cancelled. Also we cannot accept registrations after noon on Thursday, January 9, 2025.


    About the Workshop:

    Copperplate Minuscules – A Systematic Approach

    This class will help students develop a foundation in the fundamentals of the Copperplate style of pointed pen script. The class will begin with a brief introduction to using a pointed pen, and a time for questions for students unfamiliar with the pointed pen. Participants will learn the structure of the basic strokes for the minuscules of this beautiful script, and then use those basic strokes to form the various related groups of minuscule letters. Detailed practice worksheets will be provided in PDF format.

    Copperplate Majuscules – A Systematic Approach

    This class is a continuation of the Copperplate Minuscules class, exploring the basic strokes and structure of the majuscules of the script. Basic familiarity with pointed pen and with the Copperplate minuscule alphabet is required before taking this class. Detailed practice worksheets will be provided in PDF format.

    The workshop will be recorded and available for two months.


    Recommended Experience: Beginners to advanced

    About Jodi:

    With no artistic background, Jodi jumped into calligraphy in late 2016 with a serious desire to learn pointed pen calligraphy, and no clue as to how to get started. After unsuccessfully trying to find local classes or resources, she began navigating the many challenges of learning calligraphy on her own. A couple years later she pursued “correspondence course” instruction from calligrapher Bill Kemp. As online courses began to be available, she continued to study, learn, and develop her traditional Copperplate/Engrosser’s Script style calligraphy.

    Jodi’s professional career in software engineering gave her a natural orientation toward detail. Her lifelong passion for training horses and teaching riding skills gave her an understanding of how to break complex skills down into “bite-sized” pieces for a less intimidating learning experience, as well as a focus on self-assessment as a tool to develop increased skill refinement which she now brings to her calligraphy instruction.

    Please check with Kristi regarding any questions about this: sdworkshopsteam@societyforcalligraphy.org

    Recording will be available for two months.

    ABOUT RISA and her Visigothic Versals: I've been traveling the Calligraphic Highway most of my adult life. I've taught Visigothic Versals at international calligraphy conferences, universities, museums, calligraphy study groups and guilds plus a long list of calligraphic accolades. But what I think is important for you to know about is my passion for and study of Visigothic Versals. I fell in love and I mean head-over-heals in love with Visigothic Versals the moment I laid eyes on them; traveled to Spain and took calligraphy classes with amazing and generous letter artists; returned to USA and have spent the last 22 years in the solitude of my scriptorium pouring over the Spanish Beato manuscripts with the translations and tutelage of Visigothic scholar, Dr Ainoa Castro. My enthusiasm is so great for these intriguing and intricate letterforms that I teach Visigothic Versals exclusively. My interest and curiosity for Visigothic Versals has taken me to Princeton's Spanish Art Department and NYC to see the Morgan Beatus. Yes! America owns one of Spain’s national treasures!  https://www.themorgan.org/manuscript/110807

    Secret Belgian Binding – Two Ways

    Description:

    This workshop will explore the Secret Belgian structure by crafting it two different ways.

    This simple binding is easy to construct and can be modified in a variety of ways. The

    binding opens flat and is perfect for thin, lightweight text blocks. During this workshop

    students will use techniques developed by Anne Goy to make a basic version along with

    a ‘top secret’ version which will build upon these foundational steps. This workshop is

    suitable for students with any level of bookbinding skill including beginners.


    A Pair of Crossed Structure Bindings

    Description:

    The Crossed Structure gets its name from the interlacing that occurs across the spine to

    bring the covers together. These modern bindings are rooted in techniques found in

    medieval structures and were created by Carmencho Arregui. Although there are several

    variations on the Crossed Structure, we will explore just two in this workshop. Beginning

    with the Basic, students will learn the technique for sewing and how to interlace the

    covers. The second model has a less obvious construction at the spine and is aptly

    referred to as Hidden. This workshop is suitable for students with any level of

    bookbinding skill including beginners.


    Workshop Fee: $120.00

    Workshop Kits: Secret Belgian $10.00 and Crossed Structure $15.00; this additional $25.00 will be paid directly to Erin at the start of the workshop.

    ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: I am interested in any “forms" I see surrounding me. As a calligrapher I have been experimenting to create letterforms based on the forms I capture from the surroundings and play with them by writing text. The Roman alphabet is basically designed with a geometric system and the letter O is the mother form for developing a set of 26 letters.

    In this workshop, we will start by making variations of letter O. We will get ideas from existing letterforms including historical and contemporary forms, ancient sine language, man-made architecture, natural forms and abstract paintings.  We will consider the meaning of the text and the form of O to create unique alphabets. Then we will work on lines that are made by writing text from legible to abstract. As our final products, we will construct accordion books with the lines we created and collaged colorful shape elements which relate the form of O.
