Perfect your Gothic penmanship under the expert instruction of experienced calligraphy artist Ramli Salehkon in this one-day calligraphy workshop. Fall in love with the romance of medieval handwriting as you practise the unique style of the classic Blackletter Script known as the Textura Quadrata and the Lombardic Capitals. Create your favourite letters, slogans and quotes with swashes and flourishes on plain or coloured A4 or A3 size papers suitable for display. Pilot Parallel pens with 6 mm nibs, papers, markers, and ink cartridges will be provided for you to take home, as well as a folder with materials and instructions with your name written in blackletter by Ramli. You will be guided on the correct way of writing blackletter including the correct finger, wrist, and arm movements ('the whole arm technique') to get the unique blackletter 'picket fences' straight and the beautiful curves perfected! Various forms of writing the Gothic capitals will be demonstrated with flourishes and swashes and you will be guided and corrected on your strokes and finishing touches. Writing, drawing, and decorating Lombardic Capitals will be demonstrated and you will be guided on how to illustrate them....
