Calligraphy Scripts for All - Workshop with Sylvie Gokulsing

In this workshop on 25th January 2025, participants were given the chance to explore a new script or to improve on a more familiar one. Tutor Sylvie Gokulsing demonstrated a variety of scripts throughout the day, including Uncial, Foundational, Italic variations and Gothic/black letter. Under Sylvie’s expert guidance, beginners learned the basics and refreshers delved more deeply into their chosen script. The class was fast-paced and culminated in a collaborative piece which Sylvie will bind for display at SLLA’s exhibition this summer.

The workshop was well-attended with one student even coming from as far afield as Brisbane, Australia! Everyone left the class feeling confident in progressing further with their chosen script.

A full write up of the class, plus images, will appear in the next SLLA newsletter.
