Description

In this workshop, I will teach you the elegant calligraphic style of the Foundational Hand. This style was developed by Edward Johnston (1872–1944), one of the pioneers of contemporary calligraphy, who drew inspiration from Carolingian minuscule. The Foundational Hand serves as an excellent starting point for beginners learning broad-edge calligraphy. For more experienced calligraphers, it offers a beautiful, modern, and versatile style with numerous possibilities for variation. I will guide you in correctly spacing and constructing letters, starting from basic strokes to letterforms and their variations. You will receive comprehensive handouts, supplementary recordings, and homework exercises for practice. You’ll finish the workshop with a solid understanding of the Foundational Hand and the confidence to start using it in your work.
