ELEGANT MAJUSCULES
Copperplate Majuscules are perhaps one of the most elegant of uppercase scripts. In this workshop, we will study Copperplate Majuscules in both their traditional and flourished forms. We begin with the classic Copperplate Majuscule, mindful of the graceful ovals and compound curves that form the basis of the letters. We then move on to the flourished forms, learning how to create elegantly flourished majuscules that blend harmoniously with the written word, line and paragraph.

GILDED GARDEN MAJUSCULES
Learn how to gild with genuine gold in this full-day workshop as you learn how to successfully lay gilding medium and apply gold leaves to a smooth and shiny finish. We will start by designing a flourished majuscule, incorporating an elegant floral theme into the artwork. Each participant will design his/her own majuscule so a familiarity with majuscules would be desirable. Once the design is ready, you will be taught how to apply the gold. A final touch of watercolour completes your Gilded Garden Majuscule.
