Society of Scribes Class: Italic I
This class will introduce students to the Italic style, using the broad-edged pen to write the graceful, elegant handwriting of the Italian Renaissance. Using professional tools -- dip pens and ink rather than fountain pens or markers -- students will learn the relationship between the broad-edged pen and the proportions of classic Italic letterforms. The class will cover both minuscule (small) and majuscule (capital) letters. Emphasis will be placed on consistency, rhythm, and spacing to achieve a hand that is pleasing to the eye. By developing skill with the broad-edged pen, students will be ready to try other lovely styles such as Blackletter, Uncial, Carolingian and Foundational, or to continue their study of Italic.
