#Repost @ruthincrafts ・・・ Dylunio llythreniadau i’w naddu gyda John Neilson Mae’r rhan fwyaf ohonom ni’n cymryd y gwaith llythrennu rydym yn ei weld o’n cwmpas yn ganiataol. Ond mae’r holl ffurfiau ar lythrennau, ar sgriniau cyfrifiadur, llyfrau, arwyddion neu, yn wir, wedi’u naddu ar gerrig beddau, wedi cael eu dylunio gan rywun. Bydd y gweithdy ymarferol hwn yn darparu cyflwyniad/sesiwn loywi ynghylch egwyddorion sylfaenol dylunio llythreniadau. Gan ddechrau gyda phen caligraffeg a symud ymlaen at luniadu gyda phensil a phen blaen ffelt byddwn yn ystyried strwythur a chyfraneddau priflythrennau Rhufeinig. Y prif amcan fydd darparu sylfaen ar gyfer dyluniad y gellir ei ddefnyddio nes ymlaen ar gyfer naddu arysgrif byr ar garreg, sef rhywbeth rydym yn gobeithio ei gynnig mewn gweithdy yn y dyfodol, ond a fydd hefyd o ddiddordeb i unrhyw un sy’n chwilfrydig ynglŷn â ffurfiau ar lythrennau yn gyffredinol. Most of us take the lettering we see all around us for granted. But all letterforms, on computer screens, books, signs, or indeed carved on gravestones, have been designed by someone. This hands-on workshop will provide an introduction/refresher to the basic principles of designing lettering. Starting with pen calligraphy and moving to drawing with a pencil and felt-tip, we will look at the structure and proportions of Roman capital letters. The main aim will be to provide a basis for a design which can later be used for carving a short inscription in stone, something we hope to offer to in a future workshop, but it also will interest anyone with a curiosity about letter forms in general. #ruthincraftcentre #lettering #carved #letterdesign (fb)
