Did anyone make a resolution to practice daily? Is anyone practicing daily? If you are, be sure to share with the rest of us the method to your madness (I need some help!) Our January meeting, exchanging cards, was lots of fun and I believe everyone enjoyed sharing hints and tips with everyone else. The cards were gorgeous and I think interesting for our guests to understand our thought processes. Thank you to everyone who participated, and all those who were at the meeting. Our February meeting will be a “hands on” activity that is very simple but has impressive results. Leslie Wade will lead us in monoline letters with color added. Everyone who attends will take home something to show for the evening and boatloads of inspiration. Continue reading the Calligram for supplies to bring and samples of what we will do. We are planning an “in house,” one-day workshop in April on bookbinding. Look through the Calligram for more information, as this plans to be a fun opportunity to learn something new or review what you already know. As always, if you have worked on anything, whether completed or not, bring it to the meeting to share with everyone. I know I always enjoy looking at original artwork.

In this workshop we shall be working on numerous exercises, using letters that produce a wide range of tones and textures, where absolute legibility is somewhat sacrificed for visual interest, and where logic is replaced with invention and play. Whilst using non-traditional and traditional tools, we shall primarily be using the Folded Ruling Pen, a tool that openly encourages a more adventurous (and less precious) approach. Beginning with some simple and fundamental strokes, we shall carefully build up alphabets that have a healthy disregard for the 'safe and pretty' for ones that carry a certain 'rebel' demeanor. With the use of colour (gouache and watercolor), we will be combining and balancing our new-found skills of tonal and textural excitement with our conventional and 'safe' pen and pencil work, to create a perfect foil and partner in our finished pieces. Throughout, there will be many demonstrations, short talks and explanations, including the making of a Folded Ruling Pen. A ruling pen will be made for each student should they wish.

Then, by changing this rhythm (and other factors) we will achieve a wide range of 'flavours' in a simple and logical manner, thus relying on a 'method of study' and not the hollow strategy of hope! Variations of italic open to us to work on during our time together will be the Formal and sale to the dynamic and edgy to the elegant and spacious to the modern poly-rhythmic and rebel using the larger nibs and/or a Folded Ruling Pen." A feature of the workshop will be the production of a project as an 'aid memoir' of the workshop and our time together.

  • Mapping the Hard Way Doug Rose – May 2015
    Mapping the Hard Way Doug Rose – May 2015 Introduction Though the origins of computer generated graphics date from much earlier, they started becoming a practical reality in the late 1980s. With this now the norm and even making those early days seem primitive, this article looks at some of the ‘photo-mechanical’ working practices that were the norm beforehand. The reproduction of ‘half-tones’ (comprising continuously variable shades of single or multiple colours as in photographs) has much in common with layer tints (where the shades remain constant over small or large areas and also called ‘continuous tone’), this piece however will only deal with the latter. Though there were and are many ways of printing, ‘letterpress’ and ‘offset lithography’ accounted for the majority of general-purpose publication printing during the 20th century, with lithography (litho) dominating to an increasingly high degree with time. Indeed, letterpress was almost not used for anything larger or more complex than business cards by the 1990s. As with any well planned exercise that involves many stages, the most efficient methods are those which make the following ones as easy to fulfil as is practical. In order to understand why things were done the way they were, it is therefore better to look at the processes involved, working backwards from the printing press, only then will I explain how the work was originated. The production example I will be citing, that of London’s Underground diagram, has been printed lithographically for many decades now, and in numerous forms. As with many technical procedures, there is more than one way of achieving the same result.

  • Calligraphy Criteria August 18Th, 2004
    Calligraphy Criteria August 18th, 2004 SASKATCHEWAN CRAFT COUNCIL CALLIGRAPHY CRITERIA DEFINITION Calligraphy is the art and craft of beautiful writing. It is from the Greek – calli (beautiful) and graphien (to write). It is the art of communication with letters and words. The study and practice of calligraphy is disciplined and precise. The calligrapher pays careful attention to the proportions of letters, their spacing and arrangement of writing on the page. It is usually not handwriting as many think it to be, although handwriting may be beautiful, graceful and indeed calligraphic. Knowledge of historical and traditional styles of lettering serve as a starting point from which more contemporary hands (modern lettering styles) evolve. Sharpness, unity and freedom in the creation of letter forms are essential goals. Hard or soft writing tools and the proper use of various instruments such as: the reed, quill, metal- edged pens and brushes of many shapes are technical skills which are mastered by the calligrapher. Technical knowledge alone however does not result in a calligraphic masterpiece. The careful communication of letters alone or words of a text must be transcribed in such a way as to be true to the author of the text and evoke a response from the viewer. This can be done successfully with an appropriate lettering style, writing tool, choice of paper, the use of colour and design and layout. Words are usually the medium of expression for a calligraphic piece but do not necessarily have to be clear or legible. If the intent of a piece is to convey information, legibility is vital.
