In this four-part workshop series, explore the creativity and connection that live within the art of Hebrew lettering. These workshops are designed for you to get in touch with your creative intuition and play.
Employing ancient Hebrew letters and using the Rosenbach’s Hebraica collection for inspiration, in each session we will examine historic books and manuscripts to inform contemporary creations. Everyone is welcome, whether you are a beginning calligrapher or an experienced artist!
Register for one session or all four. Participants who attend all four sessions and complete an art project will have the opportunity to see their work featured in the Rosenbach’s new permanent exhibition, "Treasures from the Rosenbach’s Collection: Judaica, Continental European Literature, the Rosenbachs, & History of the Book."
In our first session, the focus is all about exploring. Try your hand at different styles of Hebrew calligraphy, from very straight angled and orderly lines, to flowing curves that twist like ribbons using broad edge or pointed dip pens, homemade lettering tools, watercolor and ink, and a variety of papers. You may wish to spend the entire session delving into the character of a single letter or exploring the relationships between letters through the use of thoughtful spacing. How far can you stretch the letters before they are no longer recognizable? How condensed can they become while still being legible? Do you want your letters to be legible? All these questions, and others, go into the artistic process when crafting Hebrew letters. Use a ruler to create even lines or create freely. Students will be encouraged to tune into their artistic impulse and try something new, especially if it means stepping out of their comfort zones.
