Geometric Lettering
This program was a revisit from long ago, given to us by Diana Haines after one of her trip to England and a study session at West Dean College with Martin Wenham. This was an alphabet adapted from a design by Hans Schmidt.
Diana loved to have her family visits coincide with courses given at West Dean College and she studied several times with Martin Wenham.
Based on geometric shapes, a circle, half circle, a triangle and rectangle, the letters fit into a square.
Once you get the 'feel' of them, they can be decorated with coloured pencil, watercolour, markers or zen tangling type designs, etc.
We first looked at this in the Fall of 1994! Nan led us through the April program this time around and gave us homework to do!
