Highwood United Calligraphers

at High River United Church, 123 Macleod Trail, High River, AB
Cost for the 6 nights of instruction $55.
The Uncial Alphabet is a beautiful, open and round, historical alphabet as used in The Book of Kells. It is sometimes called the early Christian alphabet as it was used in much of the early Holy writings. It is a majuscule alphabet, so is quickly learned by the more advanced calligrapher but not too difficult for beginners.
The Legend Alphabet is a typeface designed by Ernst Schneidler. It is easily adapted to pen for calligraphers. This alphabet has a near Near Eastern appearance and is designed to be written rapidly. It is characterized by it’s lengthy ascenders and descenders on letters such as: bdfgjhklpqy..
