Schreibsessions

Schreibsession Meetup

For a few months, I was organizing a Meetup called Kalligraphie in Berlin.
It’s a get together taking place every six weeks. Now, as I had a few other things coming up which needed my attention, unfortunately I had to pass on the organization. I am excited that Sina and Ute will take over – I am clapping my hands for carrying on the newly established tradition. Thank you!
Come and join for a writing session, it’s fun and free!

Lettering Calligraphy Class Titel

This summer I have visited a calligraphy class in the cloister of St. Antoine l’Abbaye, France. It was a full week just about humanist italic scripts, the teachers were Keith and Amanda Adams. It was so much fun and I learned a lot about writing italics, but also about the history and theory of that style.
