Workshop 1 - Bistre Inks

Usual calligraphy equipment plus...

1/4" automatic pen or something similar

Bister inks - 7 colours in the shop: yellow, green, blue, red, mahogany, brown, black.  These are 50p each.

If you have walnut ink you can use it too.

Small flat blade to transfer small amount of ink grains to palette - eg spatula, wooden coffee stirrer, not wider than 1/2cm

Pipette/ water dropper

Water containers

Mixing brushes - small

Small pointed brush

Deep welled palette

Some heavier writing paper - ie not layout as it won't take the 'wetness'.

A couple of sheets of watercolour paper - size is up to you, depends on the size of your masterpiece!

I'm basing this workshop on the session that I took with Amity Parks at the CLAS Festival 2022.  Here's a link to her work https://www.amityparkslettering.com

 Workshop 2 - Neuland
