WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this workshop, you will learn the basics of hand lettering using four unique pens and four different styles to practice. In addition, you will learn basic watercolor wash techniques to create a colorful watercolor background for your favorite quotation.
We'll go over the basics, so if you are a total newbie...don't worry, you've got this! If you have done some hand lettering before but would just like some more guidance, we can make that happen, too!WHAT YOU'LL MAKE: At the end of this class, you will have practiced your new skills and made an original 5x7 quotation/watercolor piece of art to hang in your house or give as a gift!
WHAT'S PROVIDED: The workshop fee includes all materials necessary to create your very own print. You'll also get to take home a personalized hand lettering workbook with several styles of lettering and 4 unique pens perfect for hand lettering to continue making original art at home! Complimentary snacks and refreshments will be provided.
~ Kindly note: We will not be covering traditional, dip pen calligraphy. This is a modern hand lettering class, using pen and watercolor techniques that are equally awesome. ~
