Zoom Meeting
It’s fun, it’s lively and it’s contemporary! This session is an introduction to a script which is easy to learn for beginners and a light-hearted contrast to other hands for those with some experience. It can be carried out simply in monoline form or penmanship skills can be developed using press & release techniques. This script is particularly useful for informal and spontaneous work like greetings cards, journals or little books and anyone can play with the letterforms, enjoying their happy-go-lucky stance on the page.
Materials:
- Small pointed nib such as a Brause 66EF or a Brause Rose nib or just a mapping nib, if you have one and nib holder.
