• TOPIC: Bruta, La Grafia

ENGLISH Bruta La Grafia, Calligraphy Beyond the Styles Brushes for & Nibs for Creative Souls Workshop of methodologies and creative processes from caligraphy by Cláudio Gil Bruta, LaGrafia – a kind of beginner to intermediate level workshop designed for calligraphers and artists interested in investigating creative methodologies for calligraphy through a mix of brushing and metal nibs practice. This meeting proposes that students work intensively, but without stress, taking advantage of their own knowledge in calligraphy, working with calligraphic hands that make them feel comfortable towards ideas that will be outside that comfort zone. Through simple practices, students will explore and extrapolate their own limits through investigations that lead them to discover and develop particular methodologies in order to follow paths full of identity and freshness. A process of searching for a unique and singular brand for your creations. Regardless of style, each student will go on a journey to invent imagery through the strokes of two types of instruments that are at the same time intimate, known, mysterious and unpredictable…

• SUPPLY LIST (excluded from the registration fee) WORLDWIDE SHOP • SHOP  IN ITALIA

• I always recommend some materials, but I understand (and prefer) that the students use materials that they feel more comfortable at this workshop.
  The most important is that the materials are similar. For pens, for example, the essential is a broad nib. In terms of size I see the importance of working in at least two sizes to understand some contrast and velocity relationships. But the brand of the material does not matter much. Pens (some of possibilities, and we don’t need all sizes or brands, each student must evaluate which of the makes them fell more comfortable) But essentially we need paper, a liquid ink, a tempera (or guache or acrilyc). A broad nib and a flat pen. Just this. The essential is relevant.
• What you can use (the students don’t need all of them, just a kind of one that I quote above) Parallel Pen, Speedbal pens (C0, C1, C2 or C3) or N04-S10A.
