Coming up next week:
Embarrassed by your handwriting, but like the look of a hand-written text? Want to use handwriting to create a one-of-a-kind book, but would rather use someone else's? Join us next Saturday, July 23 for The Handwritten Text, a one-day intensive designed to shake up your handwriting. Under the expert tutelage of Karen Gorst, students will experiment with different pens and speeds of writing, learning about the tone and voice of their writing. Karen will encourage all to think about the rhythm of what you write, and about the form of each letter. By the end of this workshop, you'll have a new relationship with your handwriting and learn to develop writing that is fit for a manuscript!
Karen Gorst is a calligrapher, manuscript illuminator and book artist who has been practicing her craft for more than 20 years. A co-founder of the Gabriel Guild, she is a visiting instructor and lecturer at many institutions, including the Pierpont Morgan Library, the Penland School of Crafts, the Craft Students League, the Cloisters and Wellesley College.
