COURSE CONTENT

MODERNISE - From ancient to contemporary

Convert an historical style into a modern energetic hand. Take the scripts you know already, re-invent, re-style and revamp that into new calligraphic style versions. Take familiar shapes, learn some new ones and you're off.

This course is for those with some experience. You will extend your calligraphic skills whilst you modernise both the Uncial and Foundation Hands. With your current skills you will take these traditional hands and create contemporary,  lively letter forms. From formal versions through to informal and playful, quirky variations. 

Study in a mixed ability group where you’ll work at your own level sharing experiences with others as you all apply your learned skills create rewarding projects.​
