This series of workshops focuses on the Minuskilian script, designed by Josie – based on a particular set of Hermann Kilian’s capitals. We will begin by looking at Kilian’s capitals which have a unique tension about them, and are quite quirky yet incredibly elegant. We will then take those shapes and learn the lower case Minuskilian (named after “minuscule” and “Kilian”) using a pencil, then pointed pen. There are several possible variations, offering the artist a wide range of contrasts for interpretation. Finally, we will take this script into the realms of the broad-edge, using some pen manipulation to construct a distinctive but very useable hand, as well as a “fractured outline” version – for fun. This course is suitable for all levels, although the final session is likely to be challenging for beginners.
Members have priority registration until November 18; then the workshop is open to the general public. Deadline to register is December 18, 2023.
