Calligraphie créative: recréer les signes du language
Luc Saucier - MMFA
Weekend workshop.
In this workshop, each participant will be invited to relive this pivotal moment in our history, the beginning of a written culture, by recreating the signs of language in a perfectly unique way. The common thread will be paper, but the tool will be chosen blindly and its use will also have to be recreated.
All information can be found on the MMFA website.
