CALLIGRAPHY SERIES AT SUNSHINE PLACE ONLINE

LEARN the art of beautiful handwriting online at Sunshine Place (www.sunshineplaceph.com) with Beth Robles of Play Crafts Philippines. Robles will conduct a four-series workshop on calligraphy via Zoom. Calligraphy refers to the design and execution of lettering with a broad-tipped instrument, brush, or other writing instrument.

The series started with a Tools and Basic Strokes workshop last March 6. Students learned how to use the tools for pointed-pen calligraphy, plus the basic strokes in forming each letter of the alphabet.

The second workshop, Ligatures and Capitals, will focus on connecting letters to form words, phrases and quotes. Students will also learn the principal strokes in writing capital letters using the pointed nib. The workshop is scheduled on March 13 and 20, from 9 am to 12 noon.

Also scheduled is the Flourished Letters workshop. Students will learn the basic rules of flourishing and how one can flourish each letter of the alphabet. Adding embellishments or decorating the letters with loops or swoosh will make the letters more beautiful and noticeable. The workshop is scheduled on March 27, from 9 am to 12 noon. The enrollment deadline is March 20.

The last in the series is Offhand Flourishing on April 10, from 9 am to 12 noon. It will be a fun calligraphy workshop where students can play with the different strokes to form quills, cartouche, border design and accent flourishes. The enrollment deadline is April 3.

The workshop series is open to participants aged 11 and above. More information is available at 0917-5155656 or online.sunshineplace@gmail.com.
