More Information on Workshops
Quick introduction to Uncial script - 9.30-12.30
This script is one of the earliest scripts and has a lot of variations. It is particularly associated with the 'Book of Kells' and has no capitals or small letters, so it's fa un script to use and lends itself to may design ideas. It's believed that Tolkien's script was based on this for his famous 'Lord of the rings'.
Great for beginners or people that have done some calligraphy before using a chisel nib.
Quick introduction to Gothic script - 1.00pm -4.00pm
This script came after Uncial, so it seems only right we have a go at this after the morning session of Uncial! This is particularly associated as a space saving script with its very straight 'fence post like' letters. The capitals are far more ornate and add the va-va-voom that the general uniformity of the minuscules of this script lacks.
User friendly for both beginners and people that have done some calligraphy before using a chisel nib.
No worries if you are left-handed - Jane just needs to know in advance, so she brings enough 'left-handed nibs' for you.
Jane will provide all the equipment, paper, nibs, holders, etc. you need try this script during the class.
All products she uses are available to buy at the end as Jane only teaches products she knows and loves.
If you have any equipment, you think are user friendly for this course, do bring them along and Jane will check them over for you.

Patridge in a Pear Tree
in Watercolours with Nicky Hunter
Saturday 7th November
10am-4pm at Little Berkhamsted
The lovely Nicky Hunter is returning to lead us through painting a Partridge in a Pear Tree in watercolour.
Watercolour is the perfect medium to paint a colourful characterful partridge nestled in the fruit and foliage of a pear tree, inspired by the popular seasonal song ‘ The 12 days of Christmas’.
​
Nicky shows you the stages of creating this artwork in informative demonstrations so you can enjoy creating your own unique painting alongside her as you learn good watercolour practice and tried and tested methods and techniques to improve your painting skills and loosen up your style to lift your work with an expressive feel.
We will aim to integrate the background to get harmony throughout the painting but still have a vibrant focal point and some strong contrasts so your partridge sings from the page.
You will learn elements of good picture making such as effective layout and composition and how to use soft edges and strong tonal values to your painting. You will be encouraged to use lively direct brushwork to create dynamic, expressive artworks
​
Nicky is a master of watercolour painting who uses colours to generate amazing results!
Some experience required for this workshop.
