Saturday May 2: 9.30 am to 4.30 pm A bookbinding workshop run by Spike Minogue, an experienced bookbinding instructor (NBSS Bookbinding Diploma Grad; CBBAG Core Course Certificate; Miniature Book Society Member). Calligrapher-friendly book-making, ideal for your individual sketch and ideas development. All tools and paper provided (sourced for good surface for calligraphy pens). Spike will guide us through the process of creating our own small sketch books (24 leaves or 96 pages)--a useful addition to our calligraphy skill set, if you are seeking to work with a paper surface that suits your individual practice.

Sunday May 3: 9.30 am - 12.30 Judy Bainbridge: "If you've ever looked at a piece of calligraphy and wondered how the script was done, my detective workshop will show you how to analyze any script to find out exactly how it was done. You'll find out how to figure out the pen size, pen angle, x-height etc. We will work through a couple of examples and you will feel much more confident in analyzing any script." "Bring good practice paper, a variety of pen sizes, good ink (Pelikan, or preferably stick ink, stone and distilled water.), a water jar, paper towels a ruler marked clearly with millimetres, pencil and eraser. You might want a magnifying glass."
Sunday May 3 1.30 - 4.30 pm Rick Draffin: A Cola Pen and How to Use One The folded pen or commonly nicknamed “A Cola Pen” is a modern expressive writing tool, that allows a calligrapher to explore their lettering creativity. In the workshop, we will make a cola pen and learn some techniques on how to use this wonderful addition to the calligraphers tool box.
