Citizens of Novosibirsk learned to sign postcards in Middle-earth script

ART FEST «PRO-Mysli» is an interactive platform for art groups and communities, decorators and handcraft masters, artists, musicians and other creative folk.

Participants of the festival had a chance to realize their creative potential, and visitors enjoyed the magical festive atmosphere, and had an opportunity to buy unique gifts or make them with their own hands. The festival programme featureв several creative zones, workshops, fairs, and thematic book expositions. The book thing was due to the fact that the event took place in the Novosibirsk State Regional Research Library.

Those who like original and unique things were attracted by a calligraphy workshop.

«For us the word „calligraphy“ sounds somewhat archaic, we barely use it, but in Europe and North America the practice of calligraphy is still popular,» explains project manager Darya Belago.«

«For example, the diplomas given out to university graduates are always handwritten by a calligrapher, so that the graduates have a small masterpiece rather than a readymade piece of paper.»

«Participants of our workshop will try their hand at a special script, learn about calligraphy techniques, about such scripts as the Russian uncial and semi-uncial. The uncial script was invented in Greece and spread widely, changing into many variants. Several years ago it got a new life in the titles of The Lord of the Rings movie, again becoming popular. Handwritten script is a feature that will make a greeting card or any other gift special and unique.»
