LETTERING BASICS FOR JOURNALING WORKSHOP

Class Date: Saturday, July 11th

Class Time: 12pm–3pm

This beginner-friendly workshop will introduce you to basic letterform construction. Starting with foundational hand calligraphy, designer and author of Let's Make Letters!, Kelcey Gray will over step-by-step instructions to re-enchant your lettering. Tool tips and serif secrets await!

After learning to sketch the basics, you will learn to draw a variety of non-script letters (we love cursive, but that's another workshop) using calligraphy markers, pens and other mark-making tools.

Lettering can enliven, create hierarchy and give structure to a journaled page - and it's fun! Join us and build the creative confidence you need to start drawing letters in your own journal or planner.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own journal or planner.

Each workshop ticket includes:

• 3 hours of hands on instruction from a talented designer, author and professor

• Signed copy of Let's Make Letters!

• Custom-designed lettering worksheets

• Papermate Sharpwriter pencil, ZIG calligraphy marker and pentel sign pen
  

• Snack bento box + treats

• Beverages (sparkling water and sparkling wine)

• 10% off retail purchase the day of the workshop
