Type of Workshop:  | Calligraphy | |  | Card Making | |  | Mixed Media | |
Yes, we all text and type these days, but there,s still something very special (and increasingly rare!) about a beautifully scripted greeting. This class will introduce you to various styles of embellished lettering while using your own handwriting font as a base. Karen will talk about the basics of each style, the appropriate pens/tools to use, various markers and lettering supplies, and how pens can affect the different fonts you can create as a left- or right-hander. You will learn how to create some simple hand-drawn banners with floral embellishments and basic floral illustration. Different types of pens from Kuretake ZIG plus the new Spectrum Noir ArtLiner Pens will be provided for in-class use. You will take home a full-color instruction packet and a ZIG Brushables marker to further practice and explore. - What products will be highlighted: Various styles of pens and markers to create lettering and illustrated images.
