Are you calligraphy curious?

Hand-lettered calligraphy is a great skill to compliment your other creative practices. Once you learn the eight basic shapes that make up the modern calligraphy alphabet, you’ll be well on your way to making beautiful lettering. Taught by Portland artist Molly Chidsey, she will provide a workbook to guide you along on this process.

In this introductory workshop, you will learn:

1. What modern calligraphy is and how is it different from handwriting

2. How to use a brush pen to create thick and thin contrasting lines that define calligraphy

3. The eight essential shapes that make up the calligraphy alphabet

4. How to form the letters of the lowercase alphabet (miniscules) and an overview of the upper-case alphabet (majuscules)

How the basic shapes taught in this workshop combine to form letters.

This workshop is the first of three in a series hosted by Tokki Art Supply in Hood River! Join me for one, or all three. See you there!

Cost: $65. Includes modern calligraphy workbook and alphabet worksheets.
