Advertisement
HE Taliesin is teaching Uncial Calligraphy at the VFW hall 9981 Central Valley Rd NE, Bremerton, WA 98311
Class is 2 hours long. There are room for 10 students. Cost of materials is $10
Uncials, introduced in the 3rd Century is a majuscule alphabet (upper case only), historically used by monks for the writing of religious books and manuscripts. Uncial’s broad single stroke letters use simple round forms, taking advantage of the newly available parchment and vellum surfaces, as opposed to the angular, multiple stroke letters more suited to the rougher surfaces previously available.
Students will be introduced to the basic Uncial alphabet and how to form each of the letters of the alphabet.
Supplies, tools etc. will be supplied by instructor. For this class the instructor will provide chisel nib felt pens for use in the class. Students are welcome to bring their own pens, ink and paper if they prefer to use a regular nib. A C-2 Speedball nib or its equivalent is recommended.
Exemplar and handout will be provided at class
