A course by Oriol Miró Genovart
Oriol Miró Genovart (did you spot the "OMG"?) has been a professional calligrapher since 1994. He was first introduced to calligraphy while studying graphic design, and it immediately fascinated him. He spent hours and hours working, looking for the perfect counterforms and immaculate spaces. Since then, his obsession with letters, spacing, pens and brushes of all kinds, paper, and inks has never waned.
His work combines professional assignments with teaching, having held the title of professor at the Elisava School (UPF) in Barcelona since 1995. He also teaches at other universities, schools, and in master's and postgraduate programs. Since 2009, he has been running his own intensive calligraphy workshops near Girona, twice a year.
