SUMMARY:"Document Security" with Jo Cromack
DESCRIPTION:Document Security: 500BC to a time before the internet \nSince written communication began\, there has been a need to authenticate the author or sender of a document and to secure the document in a way that means it is only the intended recipient who reads it. Throughout history there have been scammers who by means of a good forgery could ruin or inflate reputations\, derail property or other negotiations\, and make financial or social gains. Seals were the main way to authenticate documents. Whether it be Royal mail\, wartime strategy\, secret lovers’ notes\, medical notes\, goods prices and movements\, information needed to be kept secret. Documents were folded and sealed in ingenious ways for protection and has come to be known as letterlocking. We shall look at types of personal seals used throughout history and the way they were applied to documents. We’ll make seals and use them with wax on documents we have folded and tied based on historical examples. Then we will try some letterlocking. These can be sealed with wax but there are modern alternatives as well.\nAs the envelope came to be the preferred sealing method\, we’ll fold a good template for one of\nthose too. This is also a writing practise day\, so there will be time to just write. Script of your choice. \n\nPlease bring an item to make a deep impression into modelling clay to make a wax seal eg: a button\, a shell\, a signet ring. See image below for inspiration.\n\n \nMaterials list updated \nCost: $40 members/$50 non members. Payable by bank transfer or cash on the day.

SUMMARY:"Meditation with Pencils" with Robyn Colman
DESCRIPTION:Designing\, drawing and building up\nletterforms or symbols \nLimbering up for the coming year\, we’ll be thinking about letter forms and symbols\, and flexing our muscles with pencils. We’ll take inspiration from imagery we’ve brought along or from examples provided\, and we’ll use several techniques we’ve learned from past workshops. \nYou may like to work on a single letter\, or a group of letters\, or to create symbols for a personal code you can use for writing secrets. \nThere will be plenty of prompts provided. We will work slowly\, trying out forms and gently building up the shapes. There will also be suggestions for ways of using colour (again with pencils) to enliven our forms and shapes. \nWe’ll finish by using our letters or symbols to write a short piece on good paper to use as a greeting card or gift tags\, or a little piece to frame. \nMeditation with Pencils – Materials list \nMeditation with Pencils – Promo \n

SUMMARY:"Intro to Gelli Printing" with Lyndall Mason
DESCRIPTION:“Gelli” or “Gel Printing” is a form of mono printing using either a purchased synthetic gelatin plate or a homemade ‘real’ gelatin plate to print from. \nGelli plates are cheap\, flexible\, reusable and long lasting. They’re also incredibly good fun and very easy to use to achieve fantastic results from the get go. \nThe aim of the workshop is for you to produce a variety of prints using different techniques. To achieve this aim you will experiment with colours\, layers\, textures\, patterns\, images and a whole variety of bits ‘n’ bobs to create your prints. Then you’ll make a couple of special items to showcase your new found talent! \n   \nCost $40 members/$50 non members \nGel Printing Material List \n

SUMMARY:"Art of Embossing" & "Monoline Lettering" workshops with Julie-Ann Williams
DESCRIPTION:Two consecutive one-day workshops. www.julieannwilliams.com.au \n* When you register for this workshop you will be registering for both days. \n\nFee $180 members/$250 non members\nThere will be an additional fee for the paper used for embossing\nTimes for both workshops will be 10am – 4pm\n\n‘ART of EMBOSSING’ – Day 1 at Rosny Library \nEmbossing is the art of shaping images so that they are raised above the surface of the paper casting subtle shadows. Traditionally\, embossing has always given an appearance and feeling of quality. In this workshop\, you will discover the striking and delicate art of embossing and learn how to cut your own embosses from easy to intricate 3 dimensional designs\, using both alphabetic and decorative elements. Enhance your work with delicate colouring and decorative effects to create stunning designs which can be used agin and again in your calligraphy and paper projects. \n \nART OF EMBOSSING material list website \n‘MONO-RIFFIC and More’ – Day 2 at Warrane Neighbourhood House \nMonoline lettering has no thick or thin differentiation – all strokes are the same weight. Using “B” style nibs\, pencils\, pens and a few extra surprises\, students will explore the possibilities of monoline scripts taking inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright and Hans-Joachim Burgert. Creative projects including cut paper ideas and watercolour techniques will be a bonus on the day. \n \nMono-riffic material list website \n[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

SUMMARY:"Writing Numerals" with Jo Cromack
DESCRIPTION:The 9 Signs – Writing Numerals \nThe Hindu-Arabic numerals as we know them today only became widely used in the west in the 15th Century. Until then Roman numerals were in use. \nUsing symbols not letters for numerals probably started with the Brahmi in India around the 3rd Century BCE. The symbols developed over centuries\, were taken up by the Arabs in the 8th C and from here they spread to Spain and Europe in the 9th C. Their use however\, spread gradually as the Christians regarded the numerals as evil and dangerous – because they came from the Muslim world. This new numeral system was extremely practical for trade\, accounting and business records and eventually replaced Roman Numerals for arithmetic. \nThe Hindu-Arabic numeral system has been included in the book\, ‘The Greatest Inventions of the Past 2000 Years’. \nDue to their late introduction to Europe\, scripts do not have a corresponding set of Hindu-Arabic numerals. We have to somehow make these separately evolved shapes fit with our writing. \nWe’ll study how to write numerals so that they match the script we’re working with. \nWe’ll look at a couple of historical scripts\, a couple of modern ones and try some layouts using numbers. \nMaterials List for Numerals

SUMMARY:"Celtic Knots" with Mark Donnelly
DESCRIPTION:$40 members/$50 non members \nHiberno-Saxon Knots\, more commonly known as Celtic Knots\, date from around the 5th to the 9th centuries. The Celts did not invent knot work as many cultures around the world used some sort of lacework as part of their art. It was\, however\, the Irish and Anglo-Saxon monastic scriptoriums that took the knot work to the peak of artistic excellence that we know today. \nIn this workshop we will explore a number of different methods to create knots from the simple to the more complex. Then we will apply the new learned techniques to a project of your own choice or recreate one from one of the many examples available from the great manuscripts. \nMaterials: \nAll you really need is a pencil\, eraser\, ruler and paper. \nBut it’s also good to have – \n\npencil sharpener if you are using a traditional pencil\nadditional leads if you are using a mechanical pencil\na couple of different lead hardnesses such as HB\, 2B (helps but not obiligatory)\na smooth textured paper (photocopy paper is fine) OR hot press paper if you are going to use watercolours or gouache\n\nIf you want to colour your knotwork – \n\ncolour pencils\, watercolours or gouache\n\n

SUMMARY:"Learning to Drive the Pentel Brush" with Ailsa Fergusson
DESCRIPTION:Learning to drive the Pental brush. \n \n\n\n\n\nA session learning to push the brush to extremes\, and then refining your techniques to your chosen area\, either for patterns\, image making or calligraphic mark making. \nFor this you need the largest of the Pental brushes and must be the pointed one. Top brush in the image below. ( I have found some cheaper brands do not form the fine point.) A large brush can always be used for thin lines\, but a small brush can only make small lines. \nI can supply Chinese/Sumi ink to those that do not have their own\, and ask participants to bring an A2 size sheet of cartridge paper. We will cover one side of it with a very wide range of marks over the morning\, and after lunch the sheet will be folded into a booklet for the afternoon work to be done page by page. The morning will be spent getting familiar with the physical moves needed for a range of marks\, while in the afternoon these moves can be used for lettering or drawing. \nThe next most important thing required for this workshop is enough cushions to make sure your elbows are much higher then the table when sitting. Otherwise you will be standing all day\, as the arms not able to move freely when sitting too low. I know we are all different proportions\, but I need to be raised by 15- 20 cm at most tables. \nI will supply some scrap paper for testing ink and brush strokes on. \nAdditional gear \nRuler\npencil\npaper towel\nAtomiser of water (I use empty spray bottle from optometrists) I will have one to share if you do not have one\nWater jar and small dishes for ink to be diluted into.\nA larger brush for use with water only – putting a wash on paper.\nA2 sheet of cartridge paper \n$40 members/$50 non members \n\n\n\n\n \n

SUMMARY:"Elements & Principles of Calligraphy & Lettering" with Sharon Harrup
DESCRIPTION:Cost for the two days $80 members/$100 non members \nLet’s turn back time to the days of black and white\, dusty chalkboards and the sound of a rapping cane on the desk by the teacher (me)! After all\, this is the theory side of art so these two days need to be looong and boy will that clock go slow\, right? \n\nNepareizi. Falsch. Errado. Faux (wrrrrrong!).  Get ready to enter Willy Wonka’s Calligraphy Factory! The elements and principles applied to calligraphy are creative gems that will help you to think more broadly about the possibilities with your work and guide you towards generating more unique ideas and solutions. \nWe often give very little thought to these building blocks and the rules around using them when immersed in our calligraphic work. And if you are like me\, you tend to rely on your own creative judgement with these techniques sitting quietly in the background. They are made a little more elusive because our craft sits between art and typography\, but these guidelines can be game-changers and really help push the boundaries on what is possible in your designs. \nThis workshop will help you experiment and plan your pieces in a more considered way and identify how to salvage projects that have gone wrong. But perhaps most importantly\, you will learn techniques that will guide you in developing or refining your own style\, which is fundamental when we calligraphers spend a lot of time learning techniques from others with their own unique approach. \nDeveloping your pieces with the elements and principles applied to calligraphy will help you work with greater clarity\, and assess things more objectively. Come along for a few days of creative challenges\, fun and calligraphic indulgence! \n\nMATERIALS FOR ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF CALLIGRAPHY AND LETTERING

SUMMARY:"A Journey Exploring Text" with Jo Cromack
DESCRIPTION:Text can be added to all sorts of artworks\, and we shall look at ways that this can be done. Use your handwriting and a variety of tools and media to create textures from text. These can then be used as backgrounds\, elements of contrast or for special details in your artwork. We will oscillate between legible and illegible letters. No precise letter drawing here and ‘good handwriting’ is not a pre-requisite. You will discover text possibilities in a relaxing but busy session. \nCost members $40/non members $50 \nExploring Text Materials List \n
