SUMMARY

During the hour and a half program, the focus is on developing control of the lettering tool–the hardest part of the modern calligraphy style! As we move through a series of seven handouts, participants get lots of hands-on guidance and practice as they develop the brush skills. We also go through several techniques to decorate and use their new skills.

This class varies from the Modern Calligraphy program as it presents a lettering style that is not based on cursive, which makes it friendlier for younger participants who might not have much cursive experience.

1) High quality flexible marker. Tombow dual tip brush marker. $45 for 20 markers. Students get to keep a marker. I will bring the markers. If you want to purchase, here is the source and brand I recommend.

2) Pointed brush. Cost around $9 per brush. For the increase in cost, students have a far more durable and long-lasting tool that allows them greater possibilities. Here is a source and product I recommend: https://www.johnnealbooks.com/product/pentel-color-brush

DESCRIPTION FOR MARKETING
Let’s create playful letters with the brush! Taught by calligrapher, Debby Reelitz. Lettering with a brush is fun and challenging all at the same time. We will go through a series of activities that make brush lettering easier to learn–and make a card in the process of practicing!
