Content of the course:

To take paper, post-cards, terracotta pots, stone and all kind of ordinary things with the possibility to be able to write on their surface, decorate them with calligraphic script and thus turn them into an very extraodinary objekt, this is the final goal of this writing-weekend.

Through the occupation with and over the script it is going to become the means of the artistic expression.

With her or his particular rythm and the individual priorities each student does put his or her own empasis.

Basic forms of script and their variations are going to be introduced, beeing thus a great fundus for experimention and exploration.
Intensive observation enable each participant to find new exciting forms and variations which shall complete, harmonize and extend his own personal script.

In the more general part of the course Biorgit Nass is introducing the possibillities of calligraphic creation and its imaginative association with the script, which in the more individual part of the course shall be tested and applied.
The very base and idea of the course is going to ly in the continous work with everyones very own handwriting. -Each ones personal alphabet-
Thus each participant, newcomer or experimented calligrapher is going to be welcome.
Writing tools and apper are going to be supplied free of expenses for each participant.
Further materials like special papers, cartons, terracotta vessels, picture frames, postcards and envelopes can be either purchased in the gallery or of cours could brought with by anyone of the participants.
