July 18–23, 2010. Ewan Clayton. Ancient to Abstract: Exploring the Capital Letter
Split Rock Arts Program, College of Continuing Education, University of Minnesota, St. Paul Campus. Limited to 17. Noncredit: $555 + $10 fee + $55 registration fee.
An introduction to the arts of calligraphy and lettering using capital letters as a basis for exploring the subject. It includes an introduction to thinking about letters as a system of related forms, understanding concepts of spacing (both for letters and abstract shapes), and moving more toward abstraction, drawing letters as three-dimensional objects. After exploring these “basics,” participants will take parts of their drawings and work with them further, moving to a final stage where their experiments can be combined into a short sequence of forms suitable for making small panels or a book. Says the instructor, sequential thinking is an important part of the art of writing. This workshop is ideal for practicing artists interested in the potential of letterforms and those who want to work with calligraphy and letters in a contemporary idiom.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Jan: MODERNIZING A TRADITIONAL CALLIGRAPHIC HAND: Blackletter is regarded by some as archaic, hard to read, and difficult to fit into the modern visual vernacular. But we will, variable by variable, morph it through a series of permutations; creating variations and doing projects that are anything but traditional. Every month we will intensely focus on modernizing layouts and designs.
Mar: WRITING, USING COLOR, & GILDING ON VELLUM. The Book of Kells, Medieval manuscripts, the Saint John Bible: all are on calfskin vellum: regarded as the supreme surface for calligraphy and illumination, that will endure millennia. Two days of hands-on, in-depth experience will begin the journey of preparing and working on vellum.
May: PRIMITIVE TO MODERN: As far back as the 5th century, stretching forward to our times, a handful of rare manuscripts were created on vellum stained purple with brazilwood dye. A piece of this rich, velvet-like surface will be provided to each student to produce a small gem in gilding. Switching historic time zones we will engage in creating modern layouts with contemporary media and design techniques. Thus begins the process of merging ancient, present, and future.
Jul: ILLUMINATION ON VELLUM: ANCIENT TO CONTEMPORARY. We will traverse no less than 1300 years in seeking to amalgamate illumination techniques from the Codex Aureus with designs from some of the greatest lettering artists of our day.
Sept: OVER THE EDGE,DESIGN: DECONSTRUCTING THE GRID. Abstraction and fragmentation with collage, but user-friendly. Was that one Uber- oxymoron? We will use an absolutely new medium that is joyfully simple.
Nov: EXPERIENCING THE BOOK AS A NEW STRUCTURE
