Kirsten Burke is known for her gestural, mark-making aesthetic - a style that lends itself perfectly to the speed and energy involved in automatic pen lettering. She will show you how the creativity and gestures of the scribe, along with the splashes and splatters of the pen, come together to form a one-of-a-kind, spectacular work of art.
When you book, you will be asked to give her up to three words/names you would like to be made into an artwork. Kirsten will turn them into an original piece that will arrive with your workshop kit.
This special workshop explores the sensory reactions we have to hand-lettering, throwing light on the exciting balance between happy accidents and pen control. With the right amount of force, an automatic pen lifts on its edge to create a hairline that can become a flourish, and if you work quickly, splashes of ink will fire from it when the corner of the blade catches on the surface of your paper and create an eye-catching spray of colour!
In the mid-1950s, most posters for shops were lettered using a brush. Originally invented as a tool for creating large-scale lettering, the automatic pen was designed to replace the brush lettering and 'automatically' do the solid, thick downstroke. Popular with Blackletter calligraphers, they can be used to create medieval styles that work in the same way as a broad-edged nib.
You will also look at how to form an alphabet using fast, frantic marks, layers of colour and dynamic lettering - you'll look at the small 'caps' alphabet, which can be created with a brush or nib to complement the artwork you complete.
By the end of your time with Kirsten, not only will you feel fantastically inspired and empowered to continue creating expressive, confident lettering, you'll have created your very own artwork to enjoy (or perhaps gift to a loved one) along with the memories of time spent with a true master of their discipline.
This teacher has 39 reviews for their other experiences - which you can see here.
The UK's leading modern calligraphers will lead you through fun, relaxing workshops to learn how to create beautiful, dynamic lettering.
Whether you’re a complete beginner looking for a mindful activity, or an experienced creative adding another string to your bow, we will teach you the tips and tricks to turn your hand to modern calligraphy whatever your skills.
