Copperplate Calligraphy
presented by Jeri Wright
Have you ever wondered how all those beautiful lettering artists
on Instagram seem to just touch their pens to paper and beautiful letters flow
out? It does not happen by magic. It takes much learning, practice, and testing
to get the right combinations of ink, nib, and paper. For the morning program
(free), Jeri Wright from the Dallas guild, Kaligrafos, will be discussing tools
that she has found helpful and her go-tos for pointed pen lettering, and
teaching basic letter shapes. The morning from 10-12 is our meeting and free
program; the afternoon from 1 to 4 is the $30 workshop.
Supply list:
·
Pointed pen staff and nib of your choice. Good beginner nib suggestions are: Nikko G (in your party gift bag!) or Zebra G,
either a straight staff (better for lefties, also in gift bag) or an oblique holder
(better for righties).
·
Paper – Canson Marker Layout paper is a good
choice (at MC Arts in Waco). Smooth
paper is a must. It needs to be translucent enough to see the guide sheet
underneath. No copy paper.
·
Ink – Walnut ink, sumi ink, or Ecoline are some
suggestions. Whatever you prefer.
·
·
Pencil and a rag or tissue to wipe your nib off.
For the afternoon workshop ($30 for members and $45 for non-members)
Jeri will take us past the basic shapes and letters and into the remaining
lower-case letters. Then we will write words and phrases. Registration link is
below.
