Annual Calligraphy Course 2022, Venice
HUMAN GESTURE IN CALLIGRAPHY AND IN BOOKS
Lettering, calligraphy and multiple artist books course.
The 2025 annual program will be dedicated to the human gesture in writing and will be developed in two parts: the first in five lessons on lettering and calligraphy, from January to April, the second of four lessons on the creation of a book and its multiples, from September to December.
Throughout the course we will work starting from the concept of the ‘human gesture’, which will also be the theme of the final books. The course will begin by investigating the communication that occurs through visible gestures in lettering, those that tell us the story of the actions at the origin of the completed forms.
The course includes: the study of ancient writings directly from the sources, the development of personal writings and new alphabetic forms, the development of text textures investigating the space/sign relationship and the sign/gesture relationship in cursive, the illegible and abstract sign, the design starting from the concept of the human gesture.
The location of the course will always be the beautiful and bright Palazzo Minotto in Venice, in the Gaffaro area, 5 minutes from Piazzale Roma.
