Madarasz Script (Online Class)

Hosted by Society for Scribes
Dates:
January 9 and 16, 2021
Time: 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, EST
Level: Intermediate
Max Enrollment: 25 people

In this class we will study the exciting shaded script of master penman Louis Madarasz (1859–1910). A knowledge of pointed pen script is required, and in this class we will learn to add extra pizzazz and heavy shades to our work. This shaded script (Madarasz calls it “insurance policy writing,” but we know it as Madarasz script) is very visible, bold, and will complement any other pointed pen scripts you have learned. I’m excited to meet and share with you and together we’ll study and pay homage to this legendary penman and his unforgettable style!
