In the Miniature: Little Writing
from $75.00

Tiny, delicately written words can be a source of wonder. They may be used to credit the origin of a quote, or to create a little calligraphic gem written in the miniature. However, the smaller we write, the more difficult it can be to maintain consistent size, spacing and rhythm. This workshop will offer some clear guidelines to achieve this, including experimenting with different nibs and pens.

The exquisite Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta will be used as a model from which to draw inspiration and there will be simple, yet effective, projects along the way to try our newly developed skills.

Students should have a basic working knowledge of at least one hand, ie: Roman Capitals, Foundation Hand, Italic, Uncial.
