I’m a speaker for @typecon again this year! My topic will be about the history and anatomy of #flourishing. Hope to see you #type folks in Minneapolis👋

It’s the 8th week of the Historical Hands #calligraphy class at @coopertype today! As a little gift for all the hardworking students, I made them a name card written in #blackletter with a bit of freehand #flourishing. Excited to see what projects they’ll be working on in today’s final class :-)

Meet Laika, the new puppy on the block! ✨ I know I’ve been lax on posting lately and it’s all thanks to this cute little guy. He’s a #silkenwindhound and almost 5 months old. He’s the sweetest, most laid back little pup ever 💕 and he is the cutest couch potato one could ask for. He also enjoys sitting in backpacks and letting humans carry him around.

I’ll be teaching an 8-week #calligraphy class at @coopertype! 6:30-9pm Tuesdays, starting June 4th! Registration link in bio and coopertype.org.
. . .
This 8-week course will introduce students to three major historical styles of writing: Uncial, Carolingian, and Blackletter. This class will focus on the fundamentals of understanding these letterforms and practicalities for using professional tools. The historical survey of the development of these hands will also be covered through lectures and printed hand-outs.
Beginning in the late Roman era, books were written in Uncial, which was in common use as a book hand for more than 800 years. During the late 8th century Charlemagne’s reign in the late 7th and early 8th centuries, advancements in scholarship were accompanied by sophistication in bookmaking which led to the development and widespread use of a legible minuscule hand we now call Carolingian. In the centuries that followed, the Carolingian hand was narrowed and made angular eventually evolving into the Blackletter book hands of the 14 century. Blackletter then famously became the very first European printing types in the hands of Gutenberg and his colleagues, remaining in common use for more than 900 years afterward.

Beginners are welcome as are more intermediate students who want to expand their repertoire or writing styles. The focus will be on letter anatomy, correct ductus, letter, Rand word spacing while working with broad-edge dip metal pens and ink. The students will also learn to combine various styles for layout and composition.

Having a pencil-doodle sort of Saturday morning while reminiscing about my recent trip to Iceland 🇮🇸I haven’t been able to indulge in hobbies much recently, and I miss doing things like ceramics, #lettering, calligraphy and dancing. Maybe summer goals? 🤔

Made a small piece from layering colored paper. ✂️ Art Deco + stencil + dimensional #lettering! No glue was used, just threads on the corner plus a small leather strap. A special bookmark for a special birthday 🍰

👋 I’ll be doing a lecture at the SFPL Main Library tmr evening as part of the @letterformarchive lecture series. I’ll be talking about various code systems and how we could take inspiration from them to gain a new perspective on our alphabet. You can register for free at lettarc.org/events!

From ours to yours. Xoxo from @dqgorelick and me :)❤️ You can see our interactive site at flourish.glitch.me!
