During the workshops, we propose to introduce you to Burgundy coffard, this typical writing of the 11th and 12th century, date of the construction of the castle of the Madeleine, in Chevreuse.
The term «bastard» determines an intermediate writing between the cursive gothic and the textura gothic. Contemplating or calligraphy this writing with its characteristic style is a real pleasure.
First, you will learn how to use the calligrapher’s tools and then we will study its forms and rhythm.
