Calligraphy Workshop - Italic Variations

Italic Variations with Jane Jenkins

Date: Saturday 12 October 2024

Time: 10.00 am - 3.00 pm

Location: East Hardwick Village Hall, Pontefract

Pontefract Calligraphers are welcoming back Jane Jenkins, CLAS Accredited Tutor to run an Italic Variations workshop session.

The Italic hand is probably the one most varied, most often. Those variations produced are interesting, exciting, useful and beautiful. We'll therefore have great fun looking at as many of them as possible and practicing our favourite(s). We will examine how variations are achieved by using different writing tools and by making changes to the characteristics of Formal Italic.

Beginners are welcome but those who have practiced Italic previously will probably get the most out of the workshop.

We will be using a variety of writing equipment at this workshop. Please contact us for a full list. You may need to use a dip pen so previous experience using a dip pen is desirable but a fountain pen with a variety of wide nibs can be used.

This project was supported with a Culture Grant by Wakefield Council as part of Our Year – Wakefield District 2024.
