Which is a kind of strange title, but it's what I did during the week - taught my calligraphy on pebbles workshop.
My workshop table before we began
It was a fabulous group - we had seven participants which is a lovely number, allowing for more personal time with participants. We were writing Versals on the pebbles - code for built up letters. The letters are formed by pen strokes or pencil strokes and then filled in. Sort of like drawing for letters.
Everyone got a small jar of ink and a handmade pen (dowel, plastic tubing and a nib). I had n exemplar which had four different style son it and they all had some paper with lines ruled to practice with.
A before shot.
We did a small group exercise so they all got to take some other folk's pebbles home with them as well.
In secret I then got them all to write one letter on a pebble.
Whilst those pebbles dried we made pouches for the pebbles from old book pages. We made so many pouches!!!
My trio of vases go from white thru a blend of white-pink to pink!
how I would have loved to attend your pebble-inking
ReplyDeleteIt was fun session and I am sure that you would have enjoyed it - as would have I had you been there! Go well.
Deletelove all the lettered pebbles & the lemon scented Leptospermum is a favourite here too!
