Description

Copperplate is a beautiful, flowing hand steeped in tradition. While very practical there may be a time when you’ll want to break with this traditional style and create letterforms that are more expressive and contemporary. In this class we’ll take the same flexible pointed pen we’ve been using for Copperplate and use it to explore the potential for creating new and exciting letterforms. Through step-by-step instruction we’ll start with an informal pen script and then move toward creating a “gothicized” script and an “uncialized” script. Along the way we’ll develop a confidence with the pointed pen and discover the unique advantages of lettering with a flexible tool.
