Carl Rohrs: Contemporary Calligraphy Techniqes
Beginn: Sonntag, 30.6.2013 mit Nachmittagskaffee 15.00 Uhr
Ende: Donnerstag, 4.7.2013 mit Mittagessen 12.00 Uhr
CONTEMPORARY CALLIGRAPHY TECHNIQUES:
Contemporary calligraphy is a combination of thought, touch, tools and technique. We'll be exploring the SPECIFIC techniques for making modern letterforms with flat pen, flat brush, pointed brush and ruling pen. Each tool asks for different handling, of course, but each one also influences the way the others perform.
Flat pen: We'll discover the world of possibilities open to calligraphers when the pen begins to lift off of the paper. That means working on a more delicate sense of the contact between pen and paper and the control of the bead of ink that is in-between: Using & losing contact with the paper for unusual stroke shape and a controlled ragged line. The four basic lifts and flicks for the edges of our letters and the myriad ways of combining them for unlimited control. A finer awareness of pen angle and the choices that can give us a greater range of feel and weight. Bounce, angularity, rhythm, compression and new ways of thinking about terminals. To feel the aper through the pen.
There is a different sense of delicacy about your writing when the full width of the pen never gets a chance to make its mark, and a more powerful kind of contrast when a full contact stroke is combined with pen corner/ink bead details.
Flat brush: The incredible control and texture it offers can be a revelation. Because it works so differently from a pen, there are a couple of tricks waiting for you that will enable you to achieve modern angularity and a new awareness of stroke weight control that will provide UNLIMITED qualities of lightness and boldness to ALL you lettering styles.
Pointed brush: the most fluid and expressive of tools. We'll learn how to make pointed brush lettering LOOK like its tool and unlike any ther writing, from perpendicular strokes to the swelling feather - shaped beauty of parallel strokes.
With a pointed brush we will have stroke shape that a pen can't even think about. We'll start with the bedrock of pointed brush lettering — perpendicular strokes — but we'll definitely go on beyond that flat headed mark to the sharp, swelling and feathery beauty of parallel strokes with vertical pressure— the key to making your lettering look LIKE its tool and UNLIKE any other kind of calligraphy.
The ruling pen's whole reason for writing is also about subtle paper contact, but approaches the paper with an attitude like a pointed brush. We'll be covering capitals, uncials, monolinear styles with flat tools, and especially scripts, some typeface influence, and color & 3–D effects.
supply list
Pen: Large folded brass FLAT pen (5/16” Horizon is the best; Coit, Hiro or similar are okay; Automatic is too sharp, but will work with a light touch); plus any other pens you like to use. I WILL HAVE THE HORIZON PENS WITH ME FOR SALE if you would like one. I’m sorry they are so expensive, but they are made by hand, and my favorite kind of pen by many kilometers. The price will be between 22 - 25 Euro.
Flat Brush: A nice, sharp flat brush. 1/2” W/N Series 995 flat brush or similar (clear handle, gold bristles) is the very best. I WILL HAVE THESE BRUSHES WITH ME FOR SALE if you would like one. The price will be between 8 - 10 Euro.
Pointed Brush: Pentel Color Brush or similar is best; plus any other pointed brushes you like to use or already have: W/N Series 7, Asian, etc.
Ruling pen: any one of the modern variations IF YOU HAVE ONE. This is the one tool that is optional — if you are not a ruling pen person, don't worry about it. I will have several different kinds for you to borrow in class, but none for sale. I do know the Deutsch have many different kinds of ruling pens (it’s the birthplace of modern ruling pen use), so I am looking forward to seeing your exotic versions! If you like a traditional drafting tool style, bring it along, but I have a tough time with those.
Non-waterproof ink: (In the States, we like Higgins Eternal, Higgins Sepia, walnut, Noodler’s, anything like that. Ecoline is okay.) Look out for the words ‘Indian’, ‘permanent’, even ‘Sumi’, they all clog the slits of the pens.
A tube or two of gouache (W/N Indigo and Prussian Blue has excellent texture and power. All colors are not created equal!)
Paper:
Large paper (11x17 or larger) Bond is fine for pens, or something with a bit of tooth (I like Ingres paper for pen and brush), plus any fancier papers you might want to work on -- Canson Ingres or Mi Tientes, Bugra, watercolor, etc.) I’m sorry that I don’t know the names of brands available in Europe. Texture is great for flat brush, and I love it for pen and pointed brush, too.
Pencil &/or a few colored pencils
A ruler

Capital letters mit Denis Brown
Haus Werdenfels
Information und AnmeldungCapital Expression
A workshop with Denis Brown
Level: intermediate to advancedThe class will begin with an overview of classical Roman Capitals, but we soon will start developing these into more experimental capital forms. Traditional capitals will be systematically distorted over several stages, ultimately yielding a free-form and expressive writing. There will be chances to apply Denis Brown's fast pen-strokes to capitals, as well as opportunity to explore very different kinds of line in capital writings. Exercises with writing as texture will be included and we will look at the expressive potential in composition of line, form, space, scale, position, tone and color. Each student may choose to be as traditional or as experimental as they wish after the initial exercises, and individual advice will be offered as well as group discussions and demonstrations.
Tools and Materials: Pencils, ruler, scissors or scalpel for cutting papers, compass, calligraphy dip-pens (Brause nibs 3mm and 4mm especially recommended). Automatic or Coit pens and any experimental writing tools you have; incl. brushes, eye droppers, ruling-pens, sticks, etc.; pad of paper A3 size or larger; several full size sheets of quality paper, e.g. hot pressed watercolor papers and colored paper like Canson mi-tientes or similar; a few full size sheets of heavy tracing vellum or Polyester Drafting Film. Gouache paints in a range of colors and mixing brushes, palettes, water jar etc.
Stempeln mit Anja Lehtinen

Stamping with Anja Lehtinen Stamping is a different way to do calligraphy than using an ordinary broad edged nibs. By stamping technique you can easily create different surfaces from playful liveliness to bold, black and heavy textblock. In the workshop we will create an own individual alphabet and get familiar with the principles of cutting a stamp. |
