Spencerian script with Martha Laurens
|
Two day workshop
We will explore and refine the elegant Spencerian script developed by Platt Roger Spencer, an American calligrapher working in the mid 1800s. Day one will cover some simple warm up an movement exercises, a short introduction to the basic rules, skeleton and principal strokes in minuscule letters and numerals in traditional Spencerian script and its transition with simple flourishes to ornamental penmanship or modern Spencerian. On day two, we will slowly add spacing to the letterforms and light shading in the basic strokes, minuscule and majuscule letters. We will consider how to develop a rhythm in writing with an option of using a muscular movement to build up consistency and how to enjoy practicing at home. The class is open to all levels. It is a good introduction for beginners but also beneficial for those wanting to refine their existing sills in this type of script. |
