David Ashley will teach a weekend workshop on the most useful of modern calligraphic hands, the Italic. Developed in the chanceries of Renaissance Italy, this hand is both elegant, modern and adaptable. This workshop will cover basic letter forms, and introduce students to both historic and modern exemplars. There will be a brief slide lecture showing historic calligraphic slides. This workshop is for beginning to intermediate calligraphers. It will cover basic skills, use of pens, ink and gouache (for colors), and suitable papers. Both small letters and capitals will be covered. Also, basic practice skills, how to develop rhythm and regularity in writing, and a demonstration. July 5-6. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. each day. Packard Hall, Room 131.
