Red Deer, Alberta Canada

An interesting find in Red Deer: the Bradley Stencil Machine Co. Stencil Maker.

I taught a very eager class at Red Deer College in Alberta Canada just a few weeks ago in July. In this workshop we explored the development of the versal form and studied the hand from the Stowe Charter, a Cnut charter hard.  We covered pen and ink lettering as well as pencil drawing. There was a very strong emphasis on good letterforms, study techniques and research methods.  The class was great fun, the student very receptive and interactive.

Detail of the Stencil Maker. I would have loved to use this maching for letter making artworks.

Oh Canada!  A desert on the menu on our last night celebration ... Oh Tummy!
