Advanced Manipulated Italic
A two or three day workshop with Denis Brown- Advanced level
This is Denis' own style of italic with fast gestural pen manipulations, which aid the fluency of strokes. The class will include acute analysis of structural rhythm, and fluency will also be encouraged by the incorporation of pen flicks and fast manipulated strokes. These took me years to develop one by one, and in just two days the students are not expected to master them. The workshop will, however, open your mind to many new dynamics of calligraphy which can be taken home and practiced by students in their own time.

...and freer developments will also be discussed
Student supplies: Square edged dip-pens, and particularly Brause 3mm & 4mm nibs; ink (Denis likes Winsor & Newton Ivory Black Gouache as ink but you may have your own favorite ink); 16" ruler or longer; pencils; pad of practice paper 11"x l7" or larger; a few sheets of better quality paper (Denis likes BFK Rives for large writing, again you may have your own preferences); gouache colors; palettes; mixing and loading brushes. Optional: finely powdered pumice stone and finely powdered gum sandarac. (Denis' demonstrations will make use of these, so you may also wish to try them, but they are not essential).
2 or 3 days. Level: Advanced. Max. 20 students HOW TO GO ABOUT BOOKING A WORKSHOP
