Monday to Friday
This workshop will suit both beginners and those with experience.
Beginners will be introduced to calligraphic tools and materials. After initial mark-making, students will learn how to write in the Uncial hand, an early pen-made letterform used extensively between the fifth and eighth centuries.
Following completion of the alphabet, students will work on a small set project and then on an own choice project with guidance from the tutor.
For those with calligraphic experience, there will be an opportunity to develop the hand by working on Uncial variations.
More experienced calligraphers may work on their own project throughout if they so wish.
Participants will have at least one piece of completed work to take home by the end of the course.
