Workshop Description
Come for a Ride on the Wild Side
Whether you’re a novice or have been practicing for years, take a side trip to explore ways to present your hand lettering. Spend two days freewheeling. No pre-planning. Get in. Buckle up. Come for a ride on the wild side. You drive, I’ll guide. The path is different for every traveler. Sometimes you need to get lost before you are found.
How lost?
Lettering requires discipline. The tight approach to letterforms can creep into the way you design. Set aside this tight approach for a less formal one. Let loose on design but continue to build the strength of your letterforms.
Map Your Adventure
Begin the journey with your choice of a short text or adopt one of the quotes I’ll bring to inspire you. Play with familiar and funky tools. Through guided exercises, you’ll use your calligraphy and/or handwriting to create pages to bind into a book.
Ready?
Pack your sense of adventure. I’ll help you unpack your wild side! You’ll be freewheeling before you know it!
