• TOPIC: YALLOPLATE A DIFFERENT LOOK AT COPPERPLATE VARIATIONS
Yalloplate, a new way of looking at copperplate variations is a path to break free from a formal, more restrictive style, and try an alternative. In this course we will look at the essential components of the ever-evolving Yalloplate style and explore an innovative way of looking at letters. Many of the ‘rules’ are the same, but stroke terminals, joins, spacing and letter shapes can all be altered to make a style which is individual, fine and elegant, but with a definite personality.
We will look at the characteristics of both the lowercase and capital letters. There will be a great attention to detail with analysis of the swelling line and the importance of accuracy in making the weighted parts of letters.
Having gained a thorough grasp of letter style, we will study how to fit letters together to make a successful word design including how simple flourishing can further enhance the work. These elements are important in making a balanced, complete design, rather than a piece created by just placing letters one after the other.
Rachel will guide you through in a calm and careful way so that you can really understand the details and nuances of this exciting script.
