Neuland, Cuneiform, & Beyond...This course will open the doors to an unlimited number of wonderful alphabets. We will begin with the modified Neuland, written basically at a zero pen angle, then the Rudolf Koch-style Neuland, which is manipulated to the max, and then the Cuneiform alphabet. The modified Neuland and the Cuneiform alphabets can be learned quickly and easily by even non-calligraphers, and with their infinite variations, give the novice and the more experienced endless possibilities. The more seasoned calligraphers will enjoy the challenge of the manipulated Koch-style Neuland. But ALL will discover the wonderful variations possible of the skills learned in this course. Lots of personal attention and fun projects make this a positive and creative environment.
The Cuneiform is an ancient alphabet which dates back even to before paper, when clay tablets were used and a stylus was pressed into the clay to form letters. No, you don't have to bring 50 lbs. of clay, but we will be using some unfamiliar and wonderful tools to create this alphabet. It has a primitive quality about it but can be used in a surprising array of applications. It can be learned very quickly.
