Reggie Ezell - Blackletter & Modern Variations - Feb 17 & 18

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. SPECIAL BONUS: Reggie will be giving all participants of this workshop free access to his online, instructional video, ‘Basic Blackletter’. A link will be sent to participants upon securing a seat for the weekend. This is an online workshop. All links to join will be provided once you reserve your seat. Please be sure you can attend BOTH days before reserving your spot: Saturday, February 17 and Sunday, February 18 from 9:00am-4:00pm each day. There will also be a Tech-Check on Thursday, February 15, which is highly recommended but not required. More information will be sent to those who register for the workshop.
