Workshop Between the Heart and Ink: Calligraphy from 19th-Century Letters

Imagine your handwriting looking like a letter from centuries ago – elegant, graceful, with the soul of olden times. 🌿✒️

This isn't ordinary writing, it's a journey through time. We'll delve into the world of 19th-century correspondence, letters brimming with emotion, elegance, and the subtle rhythm of ink. Hidden within the yellowed pages, in letters sent from cities and manors, lies a flow of letterforms that captivates to this day with their harmony and grace.

During this workshop, you'll learn to create letters inspired by ancient manuscripts. You'll discover their technique, distinctive shape, and smooth rhythm, giving your handwriting a unique, sentimental tone. You'll discover tools and methods that will allow you to capture the magic of times gone by on paper.

The selected typeface is a carefully crafted synthesis of the most beautiful features of 19th-century handwriting. This will teach you a style that is both historically rooted and remarkably suitable for contemporary uses: writing letters, creating invitations, memos, and personal notes.

This workshop will open up a world where letters aren't just carriers of content. They become gestures, emotions, and personal imprints. You'll experience how beautiful your own handwriting can be when it acquires the nobility and elegance of ancient letters.

"DO YOU HAVE A FLEX PEN? It will be perfect for this workshop, and the instructor will show you the technique of writing with a flex pen and a dip pen. Dip pens will be available during the workshop."

You don't have to bring anything with you!

You will receive multi-page, original templates for your work.
