Calligraphy Centre Retreats: September 7-12, 2025
John Stevens - Interaction 2.0
Craft/Design/Explore
We will spend the week developing/refining text hand letterforms and, for relief, countering them with discovery/exploration in imagery.
Yin/Yang, left and right brain, craft and creativity, design and problem-solving skills.Techniques, Alphabets and Design will. Be presented.
Pages and book-spreads will be the endpoint (possibly extending toward structures)
Building skills coupled with practicing the "non-habitual" in design.
Class structure will go something like this:
In the mornings - focus on the main idea for the day (concept).
Then, time to work.
In the afternoons - critique, feedback/and reflection.
In the evenings - time to soak it in and work at your own pace.
