Informazioni sull'evento
In addition to traditional nibs such as the broadedge and pointed nibs, there are nibs with particular points: square or round section. These nibs can be used to draw strokes with rounded endings, or to characterize letters with particular contrasts. Starting from the skeleton of a writing known to us, we will discover how to use these tools, in more or less conventional ways, through variations of rhythm and contrast, helping us with manipulation techniques.
Class Schedule: We will meet Fri January 22, 2021 (from 07:30 PM to 08:30 PM Rome Time), Sat January 23 & Sun January 24 2021, from 03:00 PM to 05:00 PM Rome Time and Sat January 30 & Sun January 31 2021, from 03:00 PM to 05:00 PM Rome Time.
