CLASS DESCRIPTION BELOW
During this two hour workshop, I will take you from start to finish on how to create your very own hand lettered design. Starting with a catchy phrase, students will learn to organize their text for the best visual emphasis; and will then practice a variety of hand drawn fonts - from modern calligraphy and brush lettering to bolded letterforms and creative font building. From there, I will walk you through my three favorite composition strategies for creating a well-formed lettering design. Each student will get one-on-one guidance on how to achieve the best layout for their piece, and then they can begin sketching in their creative fonts! The class will top everything off with a lesson on adding key embellishments to finalize your unique design. Everyone will leave with a completed (or almost completed) piece, a selection of my favorite illustration tools, and a packet of practice grids and creative fonts to use in their next project.
This hand lettering class is less of a formal calligraphy class and more of an 'embrace your own writing style' class! We will focus more on creating a cohesive lettering design with several different fonts and lettering styles; so if you are looking for an in-depth class in brush lettering or formal metal nib calligraphy - this may not be the one for you. If you're up for embracing your own handwriting, learning how to build some new fonts, and putting together a lettered phrase - this is the space for you. This class is open to all skill levels - no prior hand lettering experience required.
