Contemporary Calligraphy Techniques

With CARL ROHRS

4 DAYS – Hosted by Fort Worth Calligraphers Guild
SEPTEMBER 22 – 25, 2012
JAYCEE PARK CENTER FOR THE ARTS 

1975 Puritan Drive * Irving, TX  75061

Contemporary calligraphy is a combination of thought, touch, tools and technique. We’ll be exploring the SPECIFIC techniques for making modern letterforms with flat pen, flat brush, pointed brush and ruling pen.  Each tool asks for different handling, of course, but each one also influences the way the others perform. Students must have basic calligraphy skills – how to hold a pen and knowledge of proper angles.
