Brush Up October

Typescribe PH in coordination with Handuraw Gorordo presents Brush Up October – A Workshop on Brush Calligraphy this Oct. 24 Saturday and Oct, 25 Sunday at 1:00pm to 5:00pm.

Typescribe PH goal is simple – to influence people through type. They believe that a simple message could go a long way if done creatively. They confide by the idea to create opportunities thru workshops that will serve as the key in starting an active community in Cebu that focuses on lettering and calligraphy.

Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. It is the design and execution of lettering with a broad tip instrument, dip pen, or brush, among other writing instruments. A contemporary calligraphic practice can be defined as, “the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner”.

Modern calligraphy ranges from functional inscriptions and designs to fine-art pieces where the letters may or may not be readable. Classical calligraphy differs from typography and non-classical hand-lettering, though a calligrapher may practice both.

Calligraphy continues to flourish in the forms of wedding and event invitations, font design and typography, original hand-lettered logo design, religious art, announcements, graphic design and commissioned calligraphic art, cut stone inscriptions, and memorial documents. It is also used for props and moving images for film and television, testimonials, birth and death certificates, maps, and other written works
