Calligraphers are trained to consider positive and negative space; this workshop will explore the physicality of the contrast.
In this workshop you will learn good and safe cutting technique and apply it to suitable hands ranging from block caps to modified Textura. You do not need to be an experienced calligrapher as writing ‘mistakes’ can be rectified during cutting.
You will make a series of panels which can form the basis for larger works and even be used as stencils. Among other things you will make an alphabet pyramid, a folded card with pop up attached letters, a star book and a double fold card.
No experience needed; not even a steady hand.
