BEAUTIFUL.
My final and most extensive piece of the five days. It is (obviously) still in progress, but I thought I’d show you anyway. It is a poem called “I Do” by the amazingly talented spoken word poet Andrea Gibson.
This was a small book I created with a poem by e.e. cummings. Final size is 4x6 in.
At this point, we had a basic grasp of the letterforms so Cheryl told us to experiment and make something like a logo. Obviously I still need some practice steadying my hand, but overall I am happy with the outcome.
another piece, quotation from Thomas Vasquez.
I only had 5 short days to learn what Cheryl usually teaches a calligraphy at the University of Iowa in a semester, so I had to jump right in. After I learned the basic letter forms in lowercase, we practiced capitals, and then started writing words connected together. This is one of the first pieces that uses both capital and lowercase letters together.
This summer I had the opportunity to be an intern at the Wells College Books Arts Institute. It is a two week intensive that takes place at Wells College in Aurora, NY. This year I was lucky enough to be a part of the talented Cheryl Jacobsen’s calligraphy class as well as TA with the wonderful Steve Miller from the University of Alabama and owner of Red Hydra Press for a letterpress class.
Work to follow!
