Description

Take a journey beginning in a traditional blackletter as used in medieval manuscripts and continue on in the creation of contemporary variations. We will begin by grounding ourselves in a strong, basic form of gothic: Textura. Then we will, variable by variable, morph it through a series of permutations; creating variations, modernizing it, and doing projects that are anything but traditional. Beginners through advanced welcome.
