IN-PERSON EVENT : SATURDAY, DEC 3, 2022, Noon - 4PM PST.
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM: Can you picture these circles printed in place on paper or fabric, or printed, then cut-out and glued onto a writing surface? We've studied calligraphy in circles and these can be a great shape to write around. The 3" Gelli-plate will be perfect for 5x7 greeting cards. This will be an enjoyable session--a chance to get messy with your fellow art and lettering enthusiasts. All levels are welcome.
(Kristi learned this from member, Linda Elder, when she taught it to several central California members.)
We will provide the round Gelli Plates (3" diameter), as well as Printers' Ink, and a few other supplies. (Scroll down for the supply list.)
Attendees will take home a mini-Gelli-plate. (We cannot mail them to those who don't attend in-person.)

Sponsored by San Diego SfC
About this workshop: We will explore the chunky and versatile hand of Neuland. By varying the x-height, customizing crossbars, using slight pen manipulations, adding outlines, and embossing, an artist can easily personalize this hand to make it applicable for almost any purpose. A traditional alphabet, a more contemporary variation, as well as ways to modify this hand will be covered.
Part of the course will be spent covering how to emboss, and students will have a chance during class to emboss their own Neuland letters. Open to all levels. Workshop will be recorded and available for a month.

Presenter: Julie Wildman
Sponsor: San Diego SfC
March 11-12, 2022 9:30am - 4:30pm (with 1 hr break for lunch)
About the workshop: Imre Reiner was born in 1900 in Versec, Hungary. He was an artist, type designer and graphic designer who studied at the Staatliche Bildhauerschule Zalatua (Zalatua State Sculpture School), the Kunstgewerbeschule Frankfurt (Frankfurt School of the Arts and Crafts), and the Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Arts and Crafts) in Stuttgart, where type designer, Ernst Schneidler, was his teacher. After a brief stint as a graphic designer in London, Paris, New York and Chicago, he returned to study with Schneidler, and from 1931 onwards, he lived and worked in Ruvigliana near Lugano, Switzerland as a painter, graphic designer and illustrator.
During his career, he created over 14 typefaces and more than 100 handdrawn alphabets. His calligraphic style is distinctively his own: abstract and playful, yet drawing from his more formal, traditional lettering education. His career as an illustrator also clearly influenced his calligraphic style.
In this class, we will look at many samples of Reiner’s work, including his illustrations, drawn letters and typefaces. We will analyze how he created his letterforms, then try tools and exercises to mimic his style until it becomes our own. All levels. This workshop will be recorded and available for a month.
About Julie: Julie Wildman is a professional in the fields of graphic design, commercial lettering, calligraphy and workshops.
Her calligraphic expertise is sought after for staff development classes, onsite promotional events, community programs, lettering conferences, and personal growth workshops both locally and throughout the U.S. and Canada.
