Calligraphy vs Lettering : Workshop Lugano by Martina Flor and Guiseppe Salerno

Last weekend we took the car and drove to Switzerland.
In the first place we planned this weekend due to a workshop Calligraphy vs Lettering that would be thought by Martina Flor and Guiseppe Salerno.
While I am drowning myself more and more into typography, lettering and calligraphy it seemed the perfect moment to join this workshop.All the way we went to Lugano for it. 7 hours we were writing and drawing with an impressive drive! The best birthday-gift I could dream! I was overwhelmed afterwards and we finished this 'cumpleaños' in a little restaurant somewhere in Lugano. I felt so happy with this experience and it inspired me a lot for my next calligraphy workshops in Antwerp and Ghent.
This week I was digitizing the word we lettered with Martina after writing it in Brushpen calligraphy with Guiseppe. Let me know what you think of it. It was a delicious weekend! More picturses about the alps and surroundings soon! Muchas gracias Martina and Guiseppe for making my birthday even more special!

Calligraphy workshop #1


 Last weekend I did a first trial-workshop about Calligraphy.
We were invited to an incredible workspace near Ghent runned by Nicolas Van Parys and his team : Artestiek Buro Vrije Ruimte in Drongen.
We had a marvelous afternoon together with the nibs and ink between all those papers on the incredible table surrounded by a lovely wallpainting done by Nicolas himself.
All my guests went homewards with a huge smile on their face and a head full of dancing letters!
 Time to do some finetuning within the little guide I made for this workshop.
Up to the next one in Antwerp!
