Cost: $85 for members - $105 for non-members

Spindley Romans with a lot of thicks and thins that give letters a completely different character and a flexibility that doesn't seem possible with Romans. This alphabet, on which all our hands are based, is incredibly versital. Gwen will prove that especially on the second day, when we will also do Weaver writing, an alphabet she designed, based on the Roman hand.

Timothy Botts

Workshop topic yet to be determined with Tim.

We ask the guild members to vote on which you would prefer: Italic Flourishing OR Word Pictures. A good knowledge of the Italic hand is a must for flourishing, while the second workshop option is for all levels.
