Advanced Italic

Join us for a two to five-day calligraphy workshop led by Denis Brown.
This workshop is designed for intermediate to advanced level calligraphers.

Denis will teach his main style of italic script, emphasising dynamic gestural pen manipulations to enhance stroke fluency. Participants will engage in detailed analysis of structural rhythm, also learning how to incorporate pen flicks and quick strokes to further develop their fluency. By the end of the workshop, students will have explored new dynamics of calligraphy that can be incorporated into their practice outside of the class.
