Kristoffel Boudens
Broken link. Kristoffel Boudens is the youngest of five children of Belgium's most famous calligrapher, Jef Boudens. Two of his siblings are calligraphers and two are lettercarvers. He studied fine arts and painting in Ghent and the writings of American painter Ad Reinhardt kept his thoughts busy for seven years. In the meantime he decided to "earn an honest living." He followed in his brother Pieter's footsteps and became fascinated by designing and carving letters by hand. After an apprenticeship with Pieter, Kristoffel studied with Gaynor Goffe&Tom Perkins and was influenced by the French lettercarver Jean Claude Lamborot. Since 1989, he has been running his own workshop, first in Antwerp, where he also taught lettering at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and now in Bruges. |
