This month we will be having fun learning how to write out Neugebauer Letters. They were designed by the Austrian Calligrapher Friedrich Neugebauer, 1911-2005.
Mr. Neugegauer wrote the book "The Mystic Art of Written Forms." This book is recommended by most teachers of calligraphy throughout the world.
All those who took Reggie Ezell's class, "26 Seeds: a Year to Grow", will remember these letter forms. Jenice will take us through the letters and help us understand their structure. She will present ideas concerning where and how they might be used.
SUPPLIES TO BRING:
- Pencil & Ruler
- B2 & B5 Speedball nibs, these nibs are round on the end.
- Crow quill or ef66 nib, (a pointed nib or Micron 01 can be substituted), plus nib holders for all 3
