Nina Tran - Gothic Cursive - Nov 17 & 24, 2024

In the 12th century, a more compressed and angular form of the late Caroline Minuscule called Proto-Gothic script developed as a response to the growing need for written books and documents.  By the 13th century, Proto-Gothic script diverged into two separate families: Gothic Textualis (a bookhand) and Gothic Cursives (a documentary hand).  

In this workshop, we will learn a Gothic Cursive style based on the work of Julien Chazal, a renowned French calligrapher.  We will begin our lesson with a formal study of a standardized version of Gothic Cursive and warm our way up to a more whimsical and "spirited" variation.
