Do you want to spice up your Italic and make it dance? Both subtle and demanding, the skill of pressurizing can create forms that are suffused with greater energy. That skill of pressure and release (sound familiar to pointed pen people?) Can transform a disciplined Italic into a more dynamic set of letterforms with a fresh, contemporary feel. We will “spring and release” first through the lower case forms and then “swash and flourish” our way through the caps. We will explore all this with several different size nibs and complete a variety of pieces.

This workshop is presented through The Gentle Penman. All of the information on the course as well as how to sign up for it is available at the link below.
