Discover the art of decorated lettering in this hands-on workshop, led by artist Jan Pickett, focused on the creation of decorative capitals. 

Delightful to draw and wonderful to decorate, capital designs were originally seen in 1st-century Rome, hand-carved into columns, serving in the historical development of calligraphy and lettering.

Constructed using a series of basic shapes in different combinations, artist Jan Pickett will lead you through the process, from the initial construction of the forms to their embellishment with watercolours and accented with gold gouache! 

Please bring your own lunch, or you can grab a light bite from our Coffee Shop. You will have the opportunity to have lunch with your fellow course members and Jan herself.

 

Suitable for all levels.
