New script styles

A super-intensive workshop which focuses on exploring new handwritten Latin script styles that follow the Czechoslovak style of calligraphy and lettering. You’ll try various Czech markers, graffiti tools, and different techniques and styles, including freestyle. Ultimately you’ll learn four master script styles and finish the session with a new original handwriting style.
