< Go Back Demonstration at Making Uncovered 2014 Posted: Sep 25, 2017 I'll be demonstrating at Making Uncovered in Brixton on the 13th of September.I was once myself inspired by seeing other calligraphers at work to start on the path of training and appreciation of the lettering arts. In my professional practice I've often embraced any opportunity to share my enthusiasm for lettering with others by participating to group projects and exhibitions, mainly with Calligraphy and Lettering Associations.At Making Uncovered I hope to inspire people and especially young people, to pick up a pen or brush and express their words visually with skill, imagination and fun. In today's world, where verbal communication is mostly produced by pressing digits on a keyboard, the art of hand writing has never been more significant.
On the day I will be demonstrating the use of the calligraphy pen and the brush to form letter shapes based on a basic Italic Alphabet and its variations.
I'll introduce some simple method of decoration with handmade rubber stamps and mono-prints to add colour and texture to small projects such as a birthday card, a book mark, a decorated post code or a small quotation. Wording may be inspired by the current Exhibition at the Black Cultural Archives in Brixton.
