Christopher Haanes - Civilité - Mar 13 - Apr 3, 2024

The Civilité is a true hybrid script, with traits from Gothic cursive hands as well as italic. It is characterised by sweeping calligraphic strokes and extensions, special characters creating variety on the page, and many ligatures. In this workshop we will start by looking at the basic shapes of different scripts leading up to the more advanced Civilité, so all levels of students may also profit from this workshop. – Basic minuscule shapes and their differences – Deciding on basic form relationships – Minuscule variations – Minuscule flourishes and extensions – Civilité capitals; demonstration There will be a mix of historical lectures, demonstrations, Q & A sessions and corrections of homework in Slack between sessions.
