"INTRODUCTION TO ITALIC CALLIGRAPHY" with NIKOLA PANG

FRIDAY JUNE 9th 2:00PM to 5:00PM

Join me in learning the beautiful, classical, forms of Italic script! Cancelleresca, or Chancery hand, came about from a marriage of humanist and Roman forms and really hit its stride during the period we know as the Italian Renaissance. These scripts were so popular in their multitude of variations that they quickly became adopted by both the church and became adopted throughout the old world as a standard. This widespread use lead the slanted, broad pen, script to such renown that, even today, we still call many small broad nibs "italic". Classically beautiful, flowing, very nearly ideal in readability and highly refined through the ages it's no wonder that Italic is still considered by a large number of calligraphers and typographers to be a "perfect script".  

In this course we will focus on the history, forms, and execution of creating classic (and perhaps a few contemporary) Italic hands.

The course includes all materials and handouts. If you wish to bring your own tools feel free. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own ruler and mechanical pencil if possible. Hope to see you there!

Course Duration time: 3 hours.
Fee: $70 (includes materials).
Pre-registration required. Payment due at the class.
Attendee Limit: 16 – Beginners are welcome. Ages 13 and up.

SATURDAY JUNE 10TH AT 2:00 PM with David RZESZOTARSKI


"INTRODUCTION TO COPPERPLATE CALLIGRAPHY" with NIKOLA PANG

SUNDAY JUNE 11th 11:00AM to 2:00PM

Come learn the beautiful calligraphic style of copperplate script! 


Copperplate calligraphy, also known as roundhand, engrosser's, and engraver's script, is considered by most to be the mother of all pointed pen hands. It still stands as one of the most recognizable and highly demanded design elements in pointed pen calligraphic works. 

In this course we will go over a concise version of its history and learn to use dip pens in order to form the basic strokes of its construction. 

This course is geared towards beginners but those with more experience may attend it as a refresher course and I do my best to teach to the level of each individual in the second half of the course (plus it's always nice to have experienced attendees help). 


The course is $70 for the 3 hours and includes all the tools (nibs, holders, papers, handouts). Attendees are welcome to bring their own supplies for use if they wish. I also encourage attendees to bring a pencil and ruler with them.


Course Duration time: 3 hours.
Fee: $70 (includes materials).
Pre-registration required. Payment due at the class.
Attendee Limit: 16 – Beginners are welcome. Ages 13 and up.
