Fitzgerald & Shakespeare RoomsLearn pointed pen Uncial script with Bill Kemp!
BILL KEMP, a lettering artist who has been practicing his craft for over 40 years, will Zoom from his home in Albuquerque, NM. The pointed pen is his true love, but he also does board edge lettering, too. Pointed pen uncial is a modern adaptation of traditional Uncial script. While Uncial was historically written with a broad-edge pen, using a pointed nib allows for elegant, rounded letterforms paired with delicate, dynamic line variations.
This class is presented by the Birmingham Calligraphy Guild (BCG) and sponsored by the Hoover Public Library. Registration and supplies for your first class are free.
The BCG and HPL ask that you join the Guild for subsequent classes to allow more patrons the opportunity to attend. Annual dues are $25.
