The East Kingdom College of Scribes warmly invites you to a class series on "how to get good" at scroll layouts! Everyone is welcome to attend; the material will be for intermediate-level study.
We will be offering a series of three online classes on analysing scribal practice in period manuscripts. The goal of these classes is to practice looking at the details, beyond the letters themselves, that help make an SCA scroll "look like" an exemplar. Each class will have a different focus, starting from the small: letter and word choices; through the medium: inter- and intra-word spacing and justification of the line of text; to the full page: vertical line spacing and text block size and position. We'll look at everything except how to form the letters themselves. This class does not assume the students will know any particular hand, but some familiarity with a period hand is helpful.
When: January 30th (followup dates will be discussed then)
Where: Google Meet, please email the teacher for the link:
