Bill Kemp - Engrosser Script
This class is for both beginners and students who wish to refresh themselves with the basics. Known as both Roundhand and/or Engrossing Script, this will be a class to provide the basics and true fundamentals of this beautiful script. Learning how to manipulate the pointed pen to make the down strokes thick and hairline upward strokes, is the focus of this grateful script. Using the Zanerian Manual and its practices will be referenced as we learn and write this script. The morning will focus on the basic strokes for the lower case and learning those letters. The afternoon will shift to the capital letters and combining them with the lower case letters for appropriate spacing.
Class Supplies:
Oblique pen holder
Nikko G or Gillott 1068A nib (experienced individuals can use their favorite nib)
McCaffery ink (any color) or your favorite ink used with the pointed pen (other suggested inks would be Moon Palace Sumi or Old World Ink)
Since there will be a limited amount of guide sheets in your handouts, an alternative paper would be the grid-square paper (5 squares per inch) pads from Rhodia or Clairefontaine tablets.
