Description

This script is commonly written with a board edge nib. It is a script that was used in the 4th and 8th century that was derived from the Roman text/script. This pointed pen version of Uncial was developed by Mike Kecseg. Like Mr. Kecseg I love the simplicity of this script and the unique lettering it presents. The Uncial script only has 26 letters, they are all the same size with no capitals or lower case.

In the class you will learn to write this beautiful script with a pointed pen. Also learning the layout and spacing that can be utilized with this script.

This class is for all levels.

Supply List:

- Pen Holder: I will be using an oblique pen holder, but with this being a very vertical script, a straight pen hold could be used. See which will work best for you. (H114, H113, H134)

- Nibs: I like the Nikko G for this script but if you are an experienced pointed pen individual, have a nib that will provide a nice crisp thin line for an up stroke. Suggestions would be a Gillott 22, Gillott 1064; not a very flexible nib but one you can provide a nice shade. (N113, N118)

- Paper: I have supplied guide sheets in the back of the workbook. I have used this in previous workshops, I have copied those guide sheets on to the blank Rhodia paper. In fact, that is the paper I used to make the workbook. I knew that the paper would provide the crisp lines that I wanted to achieve. Using the Rhodia paper will allow me to use most inks and achieve the nice thin, crisp line I am desiring. For practice, as what we will be doing, using the Canson, Graph and Layout, 8.5x11 inches, 8 squares per inch is suggested. With this graph paper you can make you guidelines very easily. (P53, P22)

- Inks: Using a McCaffery Ink (anyone except the glossy ink), Old World Ink are my two suggestions. Again, we want to achieve a nice thin, crisp line with your nib. Test youR ink, nib and paper to see which will work the best for you. (I37)
