Eliza Schulte Holliday Calligraphy Workshop

 We worked with large brushes- usually 1/2 inch and some with smaller 1/4 inch brushes if we had them.  Eliza taught the uncial and then the black letter and fraktur styles. We worked on paper and then some on fabric which was really fun.
Some of Eliza's exemplars are below.



 My work on pen -actually brush- manipulation drawing bamboo- love how the dry brush looks.


 We lettered on fabric!  That's so fun and it's almost easier to get the letter forms successful!
 Above were the softer Fraktur letters from Eliza's demo which are similar to black letter but rounder.
 This is her hearth banner in that style
