I am excited to be teaching this 4-week class again. We will explore built-up capitals and some of the many variations. The class begins Tuesday evening, October 29. (The class now in progress sold out and so I’m offering a second chance here.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built-up capitals are slow to make, but they allow the maximum control over the letter forms. They also provide a deeper understanding of the shapes and spaces that make up our alphabet. The opportunity for variations is practically unlimited, from Trajan-like elegance to casual flair to playful silliness. And these variations can work together seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will begin with penciled monoline capitals. Then we’ll building on those monoline capitals to built-up capitals, first with pencils and then with broad-edge pens.
Then the fun will continue with variations in letters, layout, and rhythm. We’ll explore how and why these elements are so dramatically different in capitals than in minuscules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suitable for beginners and experienced letterers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This class was held 6:30-8:30 PM Mountain Time on these Tuesday evenings: Oct 29 and Nov 5, 12, and 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
