Monica Dengo Tangoes With Illegibility

Monica Dengo Demoed How to Loosen up with Letters-  with  IMPROVISED COMPOSITIONS  at Kalligraphia 13  .



Monica Dengo Demoed Free Handwriting Compositions


Monica Dengo of Arrezo, Italy  though originally from Italy used to be a San Franciscan resident until 2003. This year she came back to teach 5-day FOC workshop  at Fort Mason . On  August 11, 2012  she joyfully  demoed some techniques of her 'freehandwriting' concepts. She also teaches schoolchildren at Italy 'scrittura a mano' to encourage kids to improve  their handwriting. I also found an old flyer "The Handwritten Manuscript ' with Monica as the teacher at the Fort Mason calligraphy night classes.

Monica brought samples of her handwriting works, handmade books, and a book she had written especially for teaching schoolchildren. See samples below.
Materials used for demo
