Annual Calligraphy Course, Venice
THE HUMAN GESTURE: FROM THE ITALIC LETTERS OF ANCIENT DOCUMENTS TO THE VENETIAN ARTISTIC DIARY
Lettering, calligraphy and multiple artist books course.
The 2026 annual program will focus on the human gesture in cursive writing and will be divided into two parts, from January to April and from September to December.
The first part, consisting of five lessons, will focus on the historical evolution of lowercase and cursive writing up to the 21st century.
The second part, consisting of four lessons, will focus on the creation of a Venetian artistic diary.
Throughout the program, we will work from the concept of "human gesture," which will also be the theme of the final books. The course will begin by exploring the communication that occurs through the gestures visible in lettering, those that tell us the story of the actions that give rise to the completed forms.
