Blackletter: Calligraphy and Typography -- PAID WORKSHOP

Blackletter: Calligraphy and Typography -- PAID WORKSHOP In-Person

Come and spend a Saturday morning with us and immerse yourself into the world of blackletter calligraphy and typography (also known as Gothic or Old English). We will spend some time getting comfortable with the broad-edged tool of the ancient scribes, engage with the manuscripts from which we have learned this lettering style, and dive into the world of Gutenberg, his and others' early typography, and the beautiful blackletter metal type we have in the lab today.

There is a $75 lab fee which covers all materials and supplies. Due to the size of the lab, we must limit the class to 12 participants. Register here, and we will send you information about making your payment.

Any questions can be directed to letterpresslab@baylor.edu
