Carol DuBosch is teaching Bone—the Bookhand with a Twist!
In this weekend workshop Carol will teach a contemporary letterform which is known as "BONE" because of the bone-like shape of the basic pen-manipulated stroke. These letters are fun to write and are the perfect casual choice for many creative projects. The BONE alphabet is a wonderful exercise in pen-twisting and designing the spaces within and around letters. Students will learn the script and then explore its variations and expressive applications. Some experience with the broad-edged pen is necessary.
Supply List: Automatic pen (#4 or #5), non-waterproof ink (Higgins Eternal is fine), 11"x17" bond paper, ruler, pencil, cotton rag, water jar.
About the instructor: Carol DuBosch teaches calligraphy full-time in Portland, Oregon. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and skills with anyone who will listen. She has taught calligraphy and related classes throughout the Northwest and at several international calligraphy conferences.
