There are a few more spots for the Love of Lettering class on Saturday March 8 at Studio Crescendoh (Santa Ana, CA), so as I'm starting to prep, I thought I'd show you some of the fun we're going to have in case any of you are local and want to join in the fun. Here's some of what we'll be doing...
We'll be making a hand drawn font book:
And we'll talk about how to create unique letters and where to get inspiration, and there will be lots of inspiration on hand too.
We'll address dip pens, nibs and inks, and touch on modern calligraphy...
Of course I'll have all my favorite tools on hand so students can try them out and see what they fancy.
And we'll also be exploring script lettering with round brushes and Sumi brushes.
There will be lots of other brush pens and self inking pens, markers, fine line black pens...basically, all the various ways and tools I use for lettering. They all make slightly different letters, so my aim is to provide a way for students to find their favorites. My plan is to introduce everything with enough time for students to explore them all, then do a little more in depth discovery with whichever tool/style they want. I'm looking forward to a day spent with others that love lettering as much as I do! If you're local and want to join us, go here for more info. I'm off to do more class prep!
