• TOPIC: SPRING LETTERS (and Spine CONCERTINA BOOK)

This is an experimental workshop, based on Achim letters (these are good for mixing with paint!)
These letters were designed by Hans-Joachim Burgert, a german calligrapher, sculptor and educator. (1928-2009)
Akim letters are often used as monoline texts but today we will give them a “spring” style.
After understanding the structure we will practice with other tools, mixing the styles.
Then, you can do it by yourself with other alphabets styles (cursive, spencerian, cooperplate, etc)
This is an experimental workshop in which we will use different kind of tools, mixing them.
We will also explain how the ruling pen works for those of you who have not used them before, so it is a good time to try them!

FINAL WORK
My advice is to always have a good paper in which you can put together the final calligraphy project and texture project (in the cover) so you can see it finished.
Watercolors always appreciate good paper.
Remember: the paper for the cover no more than 200g.

We will make a cover spine copertina book.
Hard cover with textures calligraphy style.
And inside a designed text or a word in order to decorate.
