Uncial Script is a book hand that was in use in Europe from the 4th to the 8th century. It is an ideal script for beginners as it is a capital hand with just one letter height and no lower/upper case alphabet.

In this one-day workshop, you will first look at how to prepare and use a nib as well as correct letter height, nib angles, spacing and construction of letterforms. Later you will move on to construction of words and short sentences which can be used on cards or bookmarks. Information sheets, cards, colouring equipments/pens and bookmarks will be included.
