Took a break from the unpacking with @tim.whitmore as the gardeners are laying the grass. Só haply about that, 4 months late but it is being completed. We cycled into Setúbal to the local boot sale market and imagine my luck. A Portuguese writing manual, a box of assorted nibs and a box of small ruling pens. I was over the moon. @pascribe @viarcoportugal #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #spencerian #ligatures #pointedpen #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning #caligrafia #portugalcaligrafia (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQylT7oidL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I am sorting through catalogues of catalogues on Old Master Drawings & Prints and Early Printed Books and Manuscripts so I can clear this shelf trolley and place them in their home in the library. I have been meaning to do this for nearly 6 years now. It is taking a long time as I am flicking through ALL the catalogues to see what is in them. I cannot wait to do some lives with you all showing some of this. Absolutely magical. @pascribe @tim.whitmore @timpaulsetubal #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #catalogues #ligatures #pointedpen #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning #caligrafia #portugalcaligrafia (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdLRLGyMbn8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today was @kuretakejapan box sorting. This is 1/2 of my Kuretake Zig products. I say 1/2, this is the small stuff. There are 14 MASSIVE boxes of #zigposterman markers in various sizes. Putting them in order for a huge testing project I am planning so you can see what they can be used for. Thank you @kuretakejapan and @kuretakezig_usa for being so generous with me. And thank you to all the Zig Distributors I have had the honour and pleasure to work with over the years. @zigphilippines @kuretakezig_taiwan @kuretakezigmy @kuretakezig_hongkong @zigkuretake_id @kuretakezig_singapore @kuretakezig_france @zigturkiye @kuretakezig_australia @pascribe #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #spencerian #ligatures #pointedpen #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning #caligrafia #portugalcaligrafia #calligraphytools #markers #brushpens (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDfNBuMV0k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So this is how I start my day, thinking about the letter for today for the reels. I thought it would be a little insightful for you to see the process. I have breakfast thinking it through, making sketches, with a Bic Ballpoint, starting with the letter in its simplest form and then adding some historical stuff then some flourishes. I then go to the studio and look at some historical studies from my years of research. Next is the Derwent Graphic 5B and finally some Monteverde Joy Ink on Canson Marker Pad with a Hunt22b using my PAScribe 6mm grid as the guide sheet. @pascribe @justwritedindi @pascribe.mssacademy @speedball_calligraphy @cansonpaper @cansonusa @monteverdepens_official @derwentartofficial @derwentart_portugal @bic_group #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #spencerian #ligatures #pointedpen #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning #caligrafia #portugalcaligrafia (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZtp3jkMA_g/?utm_medium=tumblr

I taught an excellent Copperplate Script Workshop on the weekend. New set up, new recoding system, multiple camera angles. It will be up and available soon! During the workshop I wanted to show the students something more specific about the basic strokes and had to pull out an old handout from 2006. I wanted to see what the difference would be if I redid it with a Hunt22b and a Gillott303. Gillott 303 is the first image, then 22b, then the original. I have 17 sheets in this pack some of them dating back to 2001, 2003 & 2005. I can see bits of my 4Fold Symmetry in here but nothing substantial and certainly nothing overarching. Ah memories. @pascribe @justwritedindi @pascribe.mssacademy @speedball_calligraphy @cansonpaper @cansonusa @monteverdepens_official #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #spencerian #ligatures #pointedpen #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning #caligrafia #portugalcaligrafial (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZespXxMgda/?utm_medium=tumblr

Breakfast and rereading my handout and adding to it. Today is ‘Control & Techniques -Pencil’ I have been wanting to do this little series for ages. This is all about understanding your tools and building accuracy with them. Knowing what they can do and knowing how to make them do what you want them to do. Today at 11am-1pm GMT & 7pm-10pm GMT, same live class, https://paulantoniomanuscriptacademy.newzenler.com/ @pascribe @justwritedindi @pascribe.mssacademy @bic_group @pilot_corporation @pilotpenuk #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #buildingblocks #basics #pointedpen #writing #linework #pencil #formal #traditional #accuracy #techniques #learning #caligrafia #portugalcaligrafia (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/pascribe/p/CY3YkltoUau/?utm_medium=tumblr

Classes start on the 18th January 2022 with different camera angles so you see more on how to approach the work. Four 2hr classes to help you understand your tools so you can get more out of them same live class x2 a day They will help you gain more control so stroke repetition comes more naturally and consistently. These are Pencil Control, Pointed Nib Control, Building Accuracy and Improve Your Practise. Our wonderful ‘Calligraphy & Meditation’ class is back with a deeper focus on connecting you to your writing. My signature Copperplate Script Workshop is back with its Catch Up Classes. My approach stops you from guessing where your stokes sit and allows you to build a more accurate approach to writing Copperplate Script.

Our post arrived from the UK! I was looking through the CLAS Quarterly, The Edge, and up popped this article! Soooo happy! We did this just before the move to Portugal and with the move and settling down I completely forgot. Such a lovely surprise. Thanks to Josie Brown and Wendy Harris for their lovely reviews. Am already planning an update of the 3500 year lecture but that can’t happen until we are in the house in April. @pascribe @tncaligrafia @justwritedindi @clascalligraphyletteringarts #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #lecture #classes #copperplate #spencerian ##pointedpen #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning #caligrafia #portugalcaligrafia (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/pascribe/p/CYBcfJeoEiP/?utm_medium=tumblr

What a SUPER CLASS we had this evening. I really got into the last demonstration and pulled in aspects from the other 2hr classes with ribbon illustration, pencil techniques and some flourishing from the PAScribe Scriptorium. Finding the how the holly leaves came be incorporated into letters was so much fun. Oh by the way. We have a new IG Account for the PAScribe Manuscript Academy. So you can see the madness we get up to! @pascribe @justwritedindi @pascribe.mssacademy #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #ligatures #pascribescript #pascribegeometry #pointedpen #accuracy #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning #holidaycards #holidaydesigns (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXR5zj5ox7b/?utm_medium=tumblr

EXCELLENT PAScribe Manuscript Academy class today. We looked at Foliate Letters - Holly Minuscules at the end I had to add in some ribbon work to show how the classes can integrate. I went a little bonkers with the flourishing and the Holly and the ribbon.

What a GREAT Embossing class everyone. I am so glad you all came and had a fun time. These 2hr classes in my Manuscript Academy School are really giving me a very different insight into how to share my knowledge in bite sized chunks. I can’t wait to see what you are going to do with this info! So exciting. Oh by the way. We have a new IG Account for the PAScribe Manuscript Academy.

First class done! Yeah! Showing complex leaf patterns and how they are turned into cartouches is always fun, tricky but fun. Looking forward to the 7pm GMT class. Same class x2 a day and such different results are produced on the class demo sheets. These 2hr classes really have me fired up.

I am starting to offer Private Classes (121) and SemiPrivate Classes (2-4 people). It took me a little while to figure out how I can see this working in terms of technology and how to assist students in a way that will help them to improve both in accuracy and speed of application and implementation. If you are interested in raising the level of your calligraphic practise Email - [email protected] Subject - Private & SemiPrivate Classes And let me know a little bit about what you want to achieve. @pascribe @tncaligrafia @justwritedindi #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #ligatures #pascribescript #pascribegeometry #pointedpen #accuracy #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWLke3BsWok/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Birthday Tim What a year we have had together. This time last year we had no idea what the universe would have in store for us. Thank you from me and my followers for looking after me and helping me through my Covid crisis and nursing me back to health whilst you were recovering from Covid as well. Thank you for agreeing to this ENORMOUS upheaval in our settled London life to move to Portugal. Here is to the next chapter in our little manuscript. Illuminated initial at the top of this page of vellum ;-) With all my love!

PAScribe Challenge This weeks’ version of the #pascribechallenge is the Lorem Ipsum text written at 3mm. Writing smaller is more difficult and requires a more intimate knowledge of nib-ink-paper interaction. I commented on all the posts from last week’s challenge so here’s to hoping you are up to this weeks’ challenge. Now that you see how much I put into it I need you to - Write at 3mm xheight at 55degrees List which nib, holder type, paper, ink you used. Problems you felt you had and what you can now see from the work. Tag - @pascribe #pascribe #pascribechallenge Post a minimum of 4 images all on the grid. Make sure the grid is visible. From directly above, a detail, looking up the axis of the script, looking down the axis of the script so it is upside down. Don’t post at an angle as I won’t be able to see what you have done. Do a Google search for Lorem Ipsum This is not a ‘pretty post challenge’ this is a challenge to help you really see what you are doing. @pascribe @tncaligrafia @justwritedindi @william_mitchell_calligraphy @monteverdepens_official @cansonpaper @cansonusa @canson #pascribe #pascriber #calligraphy #ligatures #flourishing #copperplate #ligatures #pascribescript #pascribegeometry #pointedpen #accuracy #writing #handwriting #handwritten #formal #traditional #lecture #workshop #learning Tools - #canson #cansonmarkerpad #monteverdejoyink #gillott303nib #pascribegrid (at Setúbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBXASkoT3L/?utm_medium=tumblr
