SUMMARY:"Italic Variations" and "Victorian Lettering & Decoration" with Lyndall
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCost: Half day members/non members $20/$25\, full day $40/$50 \nMorning Session: \nItalic Variations – Following on from Ailsa’s introduction to Italics in September 2025 and Lyndall’s continuation in October\, it was decided that we should continue to challenge ourselves with the variations from the second workshop. In this session we will try our hand at some classic Italic variations as well as some less traditional ones. To prepare for the afternoon session you may like to write a short word or words in readiness for the Victorian decoration.  Suitable for beginners and old hands. \nMaterials: The materials in bold are required\, the unbolded are optional. \n\n3.8mm parallel pen and ink cartridges or ink to dip\npractise paper\, non bleeding layout paper\, A3 if possible\nslope board for writing if you have one\nruler\, pencil\nother sized calligraphy pens (larger or smaller sizes\, different eg ruling pen\, split nib\, folded pen\, coit etc) if you have them\ncolour (gouache or ink)\nsmall good quality pointed brushes and some mixing brushes\nsmall pieces of better quality papers\, smooth or textured to try\n\nLyndall will bring a variety of tools for you to try if you don’t have your own. \nAfternoon Session: \nThis workshop has been inspired by a workshop taught by Helen Warren (an accomplished signwriter\, calligrapher and teacher here and in the UK) many years ago. \nAlthough we will be looking at lettering and design from the Victorian era\, we will also look at ways that this style can be incorporated into contemporary calligraphy. \nThis was originally taught as a full day workshop so this afternoon session will be a short intro to the subject. \nMaterials: \n\ngouache – approx 3 favourite colours\nblack gouache\nwhite gouache / bleed proof white\ngold gouache or similar\nblack fine liner\nsmall good quality brush/es and mixing brushes\npointed nib\nsmall palette\nwater jar

SUMMARY:"Fabric Printing Workshop" with Ljilja Armstrong
DESCRIPTION:Cost: This is a full day workshop. Members $40\, non members $50 \nThis fabric printing workshop will allow participants to enjoy the spirit of play and exploration. The starting point will be a plain piece of fabric such as callico or white cotton. The surface will be built up gradually with layers of paint using simple techniques such as stamping and stencilling. Mark making with improvised drawing tools will also be encouraged. \nFurther embellishment may be added with printed text\, simple hand stitching to create letters or hand drawn lettering. These unique creations may then be used as book covers\, cards\, turned into 3D forms\, framed artworks or made into an articulated book. \nNote: There is some preparation to do before the workshop and the information on what to do is in the materials list under tissue paper. \nMaterials List: \nMaterials list 2

SUMMARY:"Carolingian Miniscule Script 8th C - 14th C" with Jo Cromack
DESCRIPTION:Cost: Half day members/non members $20/$25\, full day $40/$50 \n“Of all the miniscule formal scripts\, Carolingian represents a standard of simplicity and beauty against which all other writing styles can be measured” – loosely abbreviated from The Story of Writing by Donald Jackson. \nWidespread literacy\, education and knowledge was becoming important around Europe in the 8th century\, however many of the scripts used in scriptoria to produce books and documents were bordering on illegible. \nTo create order and uniformity of texts created in Europe and facilitate learning\, a script was slowly developed and adopted that improved legibility using a variety of techniques that we still use today. This includes spaces between words\, standard letterforms\, punctuation\, and using upper and lower case for titles. \nCarolingian script helped to spread widespread literacy\, forms the basis of modern lowercase typefaces and preserved most of our contemporary knowledge of classic Roman literature; amazing for 26 small letters! \nIn the morning we’ll look at some historical and modern examples\, study and write the letterforms. \nIn the afternoon we’ll try writing much smaller and produce a small page of writing. \nPlease find the materials list in the link below: \nCarolingian materials list \n
