Handwriting Fun
DETAILS
For a 90-minute program, starting cost is: $175
Class size:
Online, up to the library.
In-person, 20 participants.
Materials fee of $20 for in-person. I provide all the writing utensils, papers. I do ask the library to print the color handouts, if they have that ability.
In-person classes do have an additional travel fee of $0.55 per mile from my studio in North Granby, Connecticut, to the class location and back.
SUMMARY
An appreciation for the hand-written letter has grown exponentially over the last year. 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.
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
Students will need:
*2 handouts (digital files from Debby provided to the library for participants)
*Several sheets of blank paper
*Variety of lettering tools: pencils, colored pencils, gel pens, highlighters, markers
