Shaded-Base Spencerian
With Nina Tran
Starting date : 8 June 2025
Fees : HK$ 1,000 or US$ 130
Workshop Description
During the American Golden Age of Penmanship (1850 - 1925), the Spencerian Standard became the backbone of Business Penmanship and Ornamental Penmanship styles. However, other lesser-known styles emerged from Spencerian as well, including a series of Back Hands. The Abbott Back Hand, in particular, featured thick strokes at the base of letters, rather than on the sides of letters.
In this workshop, we will learn an unusual, yet intriguing and amusing, casual hybrid of the Spencerian Back Hands and the Zanerian Shaded-Base, Eccentric Penmanship.
