In this evening workshop, students will learn the basics of the Uncial script, which originated around the third century CE and continues to be used today by contemporary calligraphers worldwide. It can function either as a majuscule for a variety of other scripts, or as a stand-alone hand. A great script to add to your medieval repertoire! Fun and easy to learn.

Past Student Reviews: 

“Enjoyable vibe." 

“Grendl is a GREAT teacher.”

“Everything was laid out and ready to go, we had to make our own grid on the provided paper which is a good practice for doing later at home. Loved that we had warm up exercises and finally but definitely not least, Grendl gave us the tools (pen, holder, ink, ink jar, and two different kinds of paper) to take home so we could continue the work after the class”

“Instructor was knowledgeable and fun.”
