SUMMARY
An appreciation for the hand-written letter has grown exponentially over the last few years. We will explore several ways of creating unique, colorful letterforms by stretching, squeezing, distorting, slanting, and layering all the different parts of a letter. Participants will get to learn what makes a letter and some of the technical terms calligraphers use.

Online class: I have created two color handouts for the class. Since some don’t have printing capability, the library may want to make those available for pick up.

MATERIALS
I provide these materials for in-person programs. If online, students will need:
*2 handouts
*Several sheets of blank paper
*Variety of lettering tools: pencils, colored pencils, gel pens, highlighters, markers

DESCRIPTION FOR MARKETING
Turn your own handwriting into colorful creations that can be used for cards, journaling, doodling and of course, just for fun!  Step by step, you’ll learn more than 20 techniques to alter your handwriting, add color with a basic set of supplies (no expensive tools needed!) and add decorative elements. We will play with  highlighters, pencils, colored pencils, gel pens, markers, and fun papers all while designing letters that dance, stretch and explode with color and texture. 

I’m happy to answer questions. I’ve thrown out a lot of information!
