French Copperplate Foundations - Historic Calligraphy [8 week course]

French copperplate is characterised by its graceful and flowing lines (as opposed to square ended forms in English copperplate). In this 8 week foundational course, we'll go through component strokes that make up the alphabet before heading into writing sentences. Contents: Pen control with an oblique nib Drills, ovals and manipulating pen pressure Uppercase and lowercase A-Z Spacing, joining and calligraphic rhythm Numbers Where: Rikota Studios, Studio 10, Marrickville, NSW. [in-person] When: 8x Mondays: May 11, 18, 25, June 1, 15, 22, 29, July 6, (skipping Monday June 8 for public holiday) Time: 6:15pm - 7:45pm [1.5 hrs] Feel free to BYO nibbles and drinks This workshop series is suitable for beginners and limited to 10 attendees. You'll get individual feedback/personalised help in each class. Materials included (and for you to take home, worth $50!): Midori A4 90 page paper pad (ink friendly) Walnut Ink Oblique nib holder Nikko G nib Guidelines Model sheet To bring: Pencil, eraser, and a bag to fit the A4 paper pad when the workshop finishes. The venue is not accessible (has a flight of stairs and no lift). The script is not adapted for left handers, however if you feel confident that you'd still like to attend I would recommend buying a straight or oblique nib to try it out before attending the class. To get the most out of the class, there's optional homework if you'd like to bring in every week for me to correct. Please note these are in-person workshops, there are no catch up lessons if you miss a class, nor are refunds given. Cancellations are not accepted 72 hours before the first week of the course but can be transferred. All images on this page was done in calligraphy by Jessica Le/Fleur & Fable.
