Course Information:
This will be an exciting week in which we will explore all aspects of “little and large” in a lettering context. We will experiment with pointed nibs and huge tools; learn how to write suitably tiny scripts as well as great big letters; have a go at making little books and a substantial book …… and lastly, we will play with size contrasts in design.
You can choose any subject matter for your texts, perhaps with a common theme. Alternatively, if you would prefer to work on a project of your own, you are welcome to bring that along.
