Workshop Descriptions

refreshments. Brief review
of Week’s Activities.

How to use an oblique pen, flat-edged pen, and other basics
for novices and beginners.
NEW THIS YEAR. Jim Williams,
Dr. Joe Vitolo, and others will lead this workshop.
Engrossers Script (Copperplate):
Dr. Joe Vitolo, webmaster for Ornamental
Penmanship group and Zanerian.com,
is a specialist in Engrosser's script, commonly called Copperplate.
He will teach the fundamentals of the wonderful art form. The course starts
at 9am and ends at 5pm.
Broad-Edge Lettering:
Track 2 on Tuesday will offer a broad-edged alternative to the
pointed-pen practicum. The course starts at 9am and ends at 5pm.
Spencerian Basics Seminar:
Mike Sull, who single handedly revived this lost American Writing
form, will teach an introductory seminar. This is a mini version of his week-long Spencerian Saga. This
course starts at 9am and ends at 3:45pm.
The Art of Flourishing:
Bob Hurford, Editor of Penman’s Journal, and John DeCollibus,
Master Penman, will demonstrate and explain why letter flourishing is more
than artistic scribbling. The
pair will also provide two perspectives on bird flourishing.
An Illuminated Letter Step by Step:
Rosemary Buczek, a renown engrosser and past president, has enticed convention
goers late into the evening watching her design and illuminate a certificate
for presentation the next day. This year she will provide a line drawing
and take participants to a finished product they can proudly display.
American Cursive Penmanship:
Mike Sull has developed this new handwriting system for the Home-School
movement. A non-shaded cursive style of penmanship based on the principles
of the Spencerian and Palmer styles.
French Roundhand Alphabet:
Vivian Mungall, a recent Master Penman inductee, has chosen a favorite lettering
style used for poetry. This
very legible alphabet can be executed with beauty and speed.
Using Victorian Tea Bag Cover Folding to Decorate Lettering:
A team of Nancy Gundersen, Leslie Job, and Martha Maconi will
show us how great grandmother use a common beverage wrapper to add color
and design to note cards and her writing paper. Start now to collect unusual tea bag wrappers and small decorative
papers.
Working on Alternative Parchments & Natural Elements:
Angela Welch works with snakeskin, bark, and deer-hide. Learn
the ins and outs of using alternative writing surfaces & nature’s paint
palette: flowers, berries, & dirt.
Spencerian Innovations:
Mike Sull has graciously agreed to teach an advanced Spencerian lesson.
This is a separate 1-hour course from the Spencerian Basics Seminar.
Painting and Drawing Techniques for Illuminators:
Cathy Ledeker has exhibited her work at a number of conventions.
Remember her Celtic Knots and her large illuminated alphabet exhibit?
Business Writing Revisited:
Irene Calendo has taught handwriting in the Rochester Schools for many years;
is a past IAMPETH president several times and 30 year member.
Irene will talk about our founders’ primary mission.
Using Engrosser’s Script and Spencerian in Memory Books:
Daniel North and Dottie Knudsen share their techniques for creating
highly prized and decorative scrap/photo albums and family memory books.
Five Steps to a More Graceful Envelope:
Linda Hirsch’s envelopes are so beautiful that people often throw away the
letter and frame the wrapper.
Learn how to use color and design to spice up your communications.
Layout Basics for Certificates:
Sharon Eisman has exhibited her work around the world. She has agreed to
take participants from a blank page to a final draft. Various specialists
will assist her.
