A rainy day and a warm and friendly afternoon.
A group of 12 calligraphers gathered in Penfriends Studio this afternoon to explore various aspects of Uncial. We started with Greek uncial and moved to a modern day font.
Try out some exercises. Find pictures of old manuscripts. Look at the lettershape. Observe letters that you are familiar with. How do they differ from the Uncial you already know?
Write a line of Greek uncial letterforms.
Write a block of letters. Use black, grey or white paper. Use different kinds of ink.
Explore, experiment and create a great monogram using your initials and the uncial letterform.
