We have three introductory workshops set up this year to introduce new members to new hands. While aimed at new members, anyone who is interested in learning a new hand, refreshing an old hand, or just wants to get to hang out with other members is welcome.
These workshops are free for members with a $5.00 supply fee, if applicable, and cost only $15.00 for 3 hours plus the supply fee for non-members.
If you decide to join after the workshop, the cost of the workshop ($15) can be applied to the membership dues of $25.00 making these workshops a fabulous bargain.

Pointed Pen Variations
with Betty Barna
You need to bring:
8x8 grid Paper
Straight pen staff - not the oblique one that you usually use for copperplate
Copperplate (pointed) Nibs – whatever you like best
Ink – I like the liquid sumi ink like Moon Palace or Yasutomo KY6
Paper Towels
We will explore a few alphabets by Mike Kesceg and Gwen Weaver, but spend most of our time on the Uncial Alphabet, doing a pointed pen version.
I will also have a nib that I like to use for you to try - the Hiro EF111, and handouts. |
