About the Workshop
This live one-hour workshop is designed to give participants of all skill levels a classical starting point from a more straightforward calligraphic base. Starting by drawing the horizontal rule-lines to set proportion and to work within, letters and words are constructed within a framework, allowing you to create simple, clean and honest compositions. Participants will learn the fundamentals of letterform proportion and the use of a broad-edged pen. Learn more about Yomar's workshops and join the Facebook group.
