To commemorate Dao Huy Hoang's visit to Japan, we will be holding online and face-to-face lessons in May.
● [Online Lecture in Commemoration of Dao Huy Hoang's Visit to Japan] English Roundhand -Tracing the Glory and History of Magnificent Calligraphy- 5/13
English Roundhand is one of the most influential calligraphy styles, having developed in England in the 17th and 18th centuries as the origin of modern script typefaces and widely used in business and legal documents.
In this talk show, we will clearly explain the characteristics of each style with abundant demonstrations, from typefaces from the early Renaissance, to the rise and fall of typefaces from the 17th to 19th centuries, and typefaces that developed in America.
What is the difference between Copperplate and Anglaise? Italian Hand, English Roundhand, Engrosser's Script, Spencerian. We hope that this will be an opportunity for you to deepen your knowledge of calligraphy by understanding the "lineage" of various pointed pen typefaces.
*This lesson includes Japanese interpretation.
*We will send an archived video to all those who have signed up for the lesson at a later date, so even if you cannot attend on the day, you can watch it at your convenience.
● [Workshop in commemoration of Dao Huy Hoang's visit to Japan] Introduction to Illuminated Letters 5/14
"Illumination" is a traditional technique of decorating manuscripts with gold and silver.
As the name suggests, illuminated manuscripts "give light" and can be found in many cultures and religious texts.
In this workshop, you will learn how to create three-dimensional gold decoration, a medieval illumination technique, and how to decorate by combining gold leaf, shell gold, and gold powder, to create gorgeous initials and motifs.
Please come along if you would like to try your hand at making a piece using foil, or if you would like to see and learn from Hoang's techniques.
*This is a lesson with Japanese interpretation.
We look forward to your participation.
