Course programme

We will begin by examining how flourishes are constructed. Then we will explore how to add them to letterforms and use them as a border around a finished piece of writing. We will then look at ways of generating your own illustrations by adapting photographic reference.

During the class there will be group and individual demonstrations. You will be given examples and worksheets which enable you to develop at your own pace. It will be beneficial if you can do some practice between sessions.
