Variations on Akim - New!
Live Sessions:
December 12, 13, 14 | 12–2pm Chicago time
$75 USD
“Akim Cursive” is a rhythmic hand used by calligrapher Hans-Joachim Burgert in many
of his pieces.
This class will briefly explore his original version, then move into more expressive variations which Julie has developed over the last several years. These variations are not exact representations of Burgert’s, but influenced by his ideas of rhythm and movement.
This class will feature new material in addition to some of the exercises I've taught before.
Six-hour Zoom class, recorded each day. Videos will be available with no time limits.
Upon registration, you will receive confirmation and a supply list. Zoom link and handouts will be sent 1 week prior to the start of class.
