Renaissance Italic (Cataneo) 11th June - 12th June This course is specially designed for students wishing to learn an historical script. Students will learn how to use the pen, the correct letterforms, spacing and writing words in Renaissance Italic. Bernardino Cataneo was a teaching master of Siena, Italy, circa 1545. This hand is known for its exquisite beauty. It features numerous pen lifts within and between letters, making it eminently legible (readable) - the cornerstone of good handwriting. Another sign of the Cataneo's hand is that virtually each letter stands alone; there are none of the diagonal joins that inevitably develop in a true running script. During this class students will practice historical texts, produce some short text inscriptions and will get a clear idea how to use the script for future projects.
