One of the things I hear repeatedly in my classes is how many people hate their own handwriting. At one time, I was one of those people. After many years of being told by teachers and friends that my handwriting was atrocious, I'm now being complimented on my writing. I've never taken a calligraphy class. It all comes from experimenting in my journal.
I'll teach you everything I know so that you'll walk out of this workshop loving your handwriting. You'll also walk out with a little book full of layers of color and text created by YOU, and you'll have the option of making more than one book...I'll show you a few variations to choose from!
We will be getting messy with acrylics in this class, so please dress accordingly.
My workshops are always process-based learning while creating a unique product. I am well known for not traveling light and bring a large variety of supplies including (but not limited to) collage material, rubber stamps stencils, pens, markers, tape and more.
Students are asked to bring:
- scissors
- bone folder
- cork-backed metal ruler
- roll of waxed paper
- roll of paper towels
- permanent black inkpad
- 1" brush to paint (I like chip or bristle brushes)
- small container to hold water
