THE CARVING & LETTERING WORKSHOP Carving Courses |
|||||
The courses I run are to teach students how to carve in relief in slate and how to carve lettering. The delicate nature of this material enables the craftsperson to create amazing detail very simply and
to great effect. First time students on the carving course will work on incised relief and the
more experienced can attempt the more time consuming raised relief. It always saves time if students can have an
idea of the project they wish to attempt prior to starting the course. This can be arranged through correspondence between
us. The Lettering course will cover the Trajan alphabet in theory and practice and all practical
aspects of producing carved lettering work. Returning students can explore more experimental design pieces. The courses will be arranged for 3 Days (Thurs-Sat). This gives students opportunity to settle in and time for me to cover all aspects of the work in detail. A list of reasonable cost local accomodation will be provided to all students. Tea
and coffee on tap but meals are not provided, however, there are a wide range of take-aways in town, and homemade pub
grub is easily found. 2012 Courses Lettering Relief Carving |
