Carved BERN HARD
‘I was working on maintaining the quality of Bernhard’s handdone type while taking a new and different approach to it’
Student Lesley Gaesser’s large scale final project from my experimental type course at The Art Institute of California Sacramento.
Lesley did an 11 week study on the work of designer Lucian Bernhard (1883-1972) – which culminated in a final linocut-inspired project.
Bernard’s Antiqua type was traced onto Speedball carving blocks, cut by hand, inked and printed on large sheets of watercolor paper.
My next experimental course begins April 8.
