Vincent De Boer
Experimental calligraphy for professional calligraphers
I will teach the participants a range of different calligraphy styles. I will start off with a presentation and an introduction on every subject. After that, all different facets will be taken in steps, so that the complex process of calligraphy is offered manageable and accessible. Righthanded ánd lefthanded people are welcome, but the participants need to have calligraphy skills already. The goal of the 3-days workshop is to let the participants experience the process of inventing your own writing systems, to be creative and to discover things we’ve never seen before!
