After a brief historical introduction we will look closely at Harley 2904, the manuscript in the British Library collection which is used as the starting point of the Foundational Hand. The underlying forms will be considered and we will then begin writing.
Please bring a short quote which you would like to use for a finished piece. We will talk about the layout of your text during the afternoon and go some way towards completing a piece of work.
