/ decorative & ornamental lettering / layout & design / highlighting with gold

„Letters act as practical and useful signs, but also as pure and inner melody.“    Wassily Kandinsky

Pure form, the quality of line and the ornamental potential of writing – this is what it´s all about in this class. We will play with letterform variations, experiment with layout-ideas and then finish it all up with a spark of gold.

Basic alphabet will be the Antiqua-letterforms – even if you haven´t tried writing them yet, your eye is used to them. We will use them and play with them transform them and create new compositions. Step-by-step through the creative process up to a series of works. 

We will incorporate gold, will learn about glittering effects, highlighting certain areas and a very easy way of gilding. Let´s have fun.
