Course Description:
Explore the contemplative nature of calligraphy with emphasis on the broad-nib Parallel pen. Learn to render beautiful letters in the Uncial hand, famously depicted in the ancient Irish Book of Kells. We will examine hand lettering in its historical context and bring it to life with practical exercises on paper, appreciating calligraphy as a tool for cultivating inner equanimity. Endlessly useful, calligraphy can personalize and customize your cards, envelopes, and other everyday items. With the broad-nib pen, beautiful and balanced writing is a peaceful pleasure.
