IAMPETH 2023 - Advanced Spencerian - Pat Blair

Advanced Spencerian - Intermediate

The classic Spencerian form is quite beautiful, but by adding well-formed and executed flourished capitals, the possibilities are endless! In this workshop, we will study a variety of beautifully decorated capitals, learning how to construct them by adding additional layers to the basic form of the letters and varying the placement of the dramatic shading. Exercises will help our understanding and build muscle memory. Techniques such as repeated ovals, spirals, alternate ending and beginning forms will complete our study.
