Events

Now we can use the hall at Highnam, and meet face-to-face, but for convenience some remote tutors will deliver their workshops online. Workshops are now access and set up from 10:00 am and ready to leave at 4:00 pm on the 3rd Saturday in the month in the Gambier Parry Hall at the Highnam Community Centre. Any difference to these times will be indicated alongside the event.

18 May 2024 – Gwyneth Hibbett. Pencil Gothic

This workshop takes a familiar tool – the pencil – to practice and create gothic lettershapes and use them in combination with a variety of different artistic effects. The versatility of pencils and their range of “hardnesses” give the calligrapher scope for shading and many different textures, which can take your lettering in different directions. Soft graphite greys give a subtlety that the sometimes the harsh black ink of ‘blackletter’ doesn’t, and the ease of adding some pencil embellishment can re-ignite a love of Gothic.
