  Sponsored by San Diego SfC  

  WORKSHOP IS FULL!

  Saturdays, July 11, 25, August 1, 10am-12:30pm and Sunday August 9, 10-11am PDT

  
  

  ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: In this workshop, we will create accordion books with original text lines and collaged colorful shapes with good energy flow and harmony.

  We will start by making variations of the letter "o" considered by the form to resonate to the meaning of the chosen text and individual's feeling. We will study some historical letterforms, contemporary letterforms, ancient writing systems and natural forms to develop an alphabet based on the “O”. (The Roman alphabet is basically designed with a geometric system and the letter "o" is the mother form of a set of 26 letters.) Then we will work on lines that are made by writing text with the alphabet from legible to abstract. We will explore how much emotion we can put into the text lines with rhythm and movement. Hopefully, creating accordion books with elements you've developed through all the exercises will be a fun and meditative experience.

  This workshop will be recorded and made available for two months. 

  NECESSARY SKILL LEVEL: All levels welcome

  ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: 
  

  For more than 43 years, Ed Fong has served as a Los Angeles City Calligrapher, dedicating his life to the art of fine lettering. His passion for calligraphy began at age eleven under the guidance of his father, Roy K. Fong, a student of the noted penman William B. Wollman.

  Ed also works as a freelance calligrapher specializing in formal certificates and retirement resolutions, drawing inspiration from the engrossing traditions of the Zanerian College of Penmanship in Columbus, Ohio. He continues to advance and preserve these time-honored arts through his work and by mentoring select students in engrossing and illumination.

  In addition to his calligraphic pursuits, Ed crafts and prepares traditional writing tools, including hand-cut quills, bamboo styluses, and exotic hardwood mini-inkwells. As a developing nibmeister, he customizes fountain pen and broad-edged nibs with precision grinds designed to achieve exceptional performance. Through decades of practice, craftsmanship, and teaching, Ed remains a dedicated steward of the enduring traditions of penmanship.

  PRESENTER: Yukimi Annand

  
  

  SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)

  In-Person

  
  

  COURSE DESCRIPTION:

  Hermann Kilian (1929 – 2004) was a German calligrapher, typographer and book designer whose work was epitomized by classical simplicity with an underlying tension within every letter. I would like to share my study of his minuscules that has been lifting my calligraphy study.
  
  This program starts from understanding traditional monoline minuscules - the Foundational hand, Italic hand, and English Roundhand - that deeply relate to Kilian’s minuscule forms. Then we will analyze a couple of Kilian's unique minuscule forms. We will trace some of his works and draw several alphabets with pencils, fine line markers, ruling pens and pointed pens. We will write a short text with one of his minuscule forms. As our project, we will work on square or rectangle border writing with the minuscule.

  
  

  SUPPLY LIST: 

  • Sketch or drawing paper: letter size (A4) or larger about 15 sheets
  • Grid paper, letter size or larger, about 3 sheets
  • Layout bond paper (like Borden Riley #37 Boris marker layout, letter size or larger), about 5 sheets
  • Good watercolor paper like Arches Hot Press, Arches MBM and/or Arches text wove, letter size or larger 1- 3 sheets

  • Black gouache (Winsor & Newton Ivory Black or Perylene Black recommended) 
  • 2-3 favorite colors of good quality gouache

  • Pencil HB or 0.3 and 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil 
  • Pigma Micron sizes 005, 01, and 02 or compatibles
  • A pointed nib, any brand (I will use Tachikawa G nib and Brause Extra Fine EF66 nib)
  • Ruling pen whatever you have with sharp point (I use German Ruling Pen Haff-U)

  • Ruler, eraser,mixing brushes, water container, pipette, 6-well palette, rags
  • Gum Sandarac (optional)
  • Light pad (if you have one)

  • Short text: poem, saying, lyric etc. 5-15 words

She is passionate about the beauty of the Roman alphabet and creates unique and distinctive artwork with her love of calligraphic mark making incorporated with nature.

  ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: Extend the range of your pointed pen’s potential as we break away from traditional pointed pen scripts and explore the full power of this amazing little pen nib. Following an analysis of historical models as well as the work of contemporary masters, we will put our pens to paper and systematically develop new pointed pen styles out of formal broad-edge hands such as Roman Capitals, foundational, italic, uncial, and blackletter. In addition to the introduction of new hands, each class will include additional tips and topics such as working with color, creating texture, and layout. The methods and skills acquired in this workshop will give participants the tools they need to further their reach with the pointed pen in many ways. This workshop will be recorded and made available for three months. 

  NECESSARY SKILL LEVEL: Beginner to intermediate

  
  

  ABOUT RICK: Rick Paulus has been a calligrapher and a teacher for over forty years. He apprenticed for several years at the legendary Tolley Studios, in Washington, DC, before becoming the engrosser for the US State Department. In 1998, he was appointed chief calligrapher of the White House, where he remained for two presidents until, in 2006, he answered the call of the wild and left Washington, DC to explore new adventures in nature and art. Today, in addition to enjoying calligraphic explorations in his studio on the shores of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, Rick is dedicated to sharing the knowledge he gained through many years of studio production and artistic experimentation with students of all ages and skill levels.
