Mike Kecseg presents:
Pointed Pen Variations

Picture


"Copperplate is a beautiful flowing hand steeping in tradition. While very practical there may be a time when you’ll want to break with this traditional style and create letter forms that are more expressive and contemporary. In this program we’ll take the same flexible pointed pen we’ve been using for Copperplate and use it to explore the potential for creating new and exciting letter forms. Through a step-by-step demonstration I’ll start with an informal pen script and then move toward creating a “gothicized” script and an “uncialized” script. Along the way participants will discover some of the variety that is possible to create with a pointed pen."
