• TOPIC: FOUNDATIONAL HAND to TIMES NEW ROMAN

It is never too late to connect not only with your hands but also with your head and your heart. It is the perfect experience. 

In this series of Foundational Hand instruction, we will work in the style of the Johnstonian school. We will follow the path of Edward Johnston’s reinvigoration of the broad nib and those of his protégés. Like Johnston we will refer to the historical manuscripts he studied to understand the basis for his “foundational” hand as a training model. It is a hand from which to spring, a solid grounding for all broad nib work producing charismatic words with meaning and clarity. Edward Johnston’s work had a huge influence on those who went forward to design type including Eric Gill and Stanley Morison. Times New Roman being one of those outcomes.

This program is suitable for all who wish to firm up their broad nib skills, those who would like to experience the broad nib world and for any beginner who would like a solid introduction to calligraphy.
