What a lovely day we had with Peter Halliday, learning Rotunda. Very like Gothic, but much more reader-friendly with a more rounded appearance. Peter was very gentle with us - whilst focusing on script analysis as a group, and drawing our attention to the pen angle, x-height, size etc,etc, he let us loose without making us do miles and miles of alphabet practice. Yippee! And we had a few twiddly initial letter decorations, too! You know the sort of thing. (To complete the day I had noodles for tea, inspired by the margin decoration, hahaha!). At the end of the day, Peter showed us a Kelmscott facsimile page which used the Rotunda hand printed from blocks. Just to prove that it was something easily readable! So, thankyou Peter! A cracking day.
