    PRESENTER: Veronica Phillips

    Sponsored by  Inland Empire SfC

    Saturday, August 24, 2024 10am-4:30pm Pacific time (1/2 hr for lunch)

    This workshop will be on Zoom. For those who live locally, we thought it would be great to have the option to meet together and spread out on paper-covered tables, watching the class together. As soon as a room is obtained, we will announce that. 

    MEMBERS-ONLY WORKSHOP

    $10 - this low cost is a gift to our members

    We're aiming to have more of an in-person presence, in addition to maintaining our robust online schedule. Locals are welcome to join us  at the San Dimas Library to spread out with our project and enjoy each other's company as we watch the lesson together. We'll have a sewing machine, a few stencils, and some spare paints to share.  

    San Dimas Library, 145 N Walnut Ave San Dimas, CA 91773

    ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:  Sending and receiving a creative hand made, professional and original greeting card is a treasure. In this workshop we will explore several different compositions, layouts and designs for your greeting card collection. We will create our own envelopes for our cards. Using a few different techniques, we will be using our gelli plate for creating the basis and fodder for the cards and envelopes. We will review a variety of different card styles and layouts while keeping the process simple and classic.

    Please note: a Gelli Plate, 8x10 or larger, will be needed for this workshop. 

    Recording will be available for two months. 




    ABOUT VERONICA: I began my Calligraphy journey in the late 80's.  I was fortunate to study with Reggie Ezell year long class program and then three semesters with Tim Botts.  My true love has always been Roman Letters.  Studying with Peter Thornton has given me the discipline and creative permission to explore this art form for many years.


    In addition to Calligraphy, I do enjoy bookbinding and all sorts of mixed media play.  I am now retired and able to enjoy the time and freedom it offers. I live in the Arizona desert and am a member of The Calligraphic Society of Arizona.

    Holiday Themed/Envelopes






    Sponsored by Inland Empire SfC

    Saturdays and Sundays, September 28, 29 and a review on October 26, 2024,  8:30 to 11:30 AM (Pacific Time)

    $30     MEMBERS ONLY

    As a special gift to our members for the holidays, we have priced this workshop at $30.

    About the Workshop:

    Have you ever daydreamed about an envelope that travels? Picture this: snowflakes gently landing on your envelope, or autumn leaves dancing across your post. Welcome to "The Echoes of Envelopes," where each stamp is a promise and every seal a secret - wondering what stories your envelope could tell.

    Seasonal Celebrations: From the quiet beauty of winter's frost to the cheeky rustle of autumn, explore how to splash the seasons across your envelopes. We're talking real chill vibes and playful breezes!

    Crafting Touches: Fancy making tiny paper poinsettias? They're so cute, you might just forget to send them off! Learn this and more delightful details that make each envelope a bundle of joy.

    Creative Freedom:

     We'll show you the ropes and then let you swing. It’s your style, your spin. Who knows what magic you'll whisk up?

    The workshop will be recorded and available for three months.


    Who Should Attend:

    Do handwritten notes make your heart sing? Do you wish to add a sprinkle of your soul to each letter? If you're nodding (we see you!), then grab your quill (or pen!) and join us. Whether you're a seasoned scribbler or a curious newbie, we promise there are smiles and splatters of ink waiting for you!

    About Shreya:

    Introducing Shreya, your go-to envelope whisperer and nature’s best friend. She translates the quiet whispers of the wild into vivid watercolor stories. Not just an artist, Shreya’s also a loves letter-writing—she believes every envelope deserves a good chat before meeting the mailbox. With a paintbrush in one hand and a pen in the other, she champions the art of slowing down. Her personal motto? "Take your time; even snails reach their destinations!" Besides painting, Shreya adores journaling and the art of calligraphy, turning every page and letter into a dance of ink and emotions. Let’s not rush; let’s make art that feels like a good, long, friendly letter.

    Thursdays, October 3, 10, 17 and 24 6:30-8:30PM

    $80     MEMBERS ONLY

    This workshop is limited to 20 people and we expect it to fill quickly. If you wish to mail a check, please let us know, so we will allow time for that to arrive.


    ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP: Built-up capitals are infinitely variable and provide the maximum control over the letter forms. They also provide a deeper understanding of the shapes and spaces that make up our alphabet. The opportunity for variations is practically unlimited, from Trajan-like elegance to casual flair to playful silliness. And these variations can work together seamlessly.

       In this workshop, we will begin with pencilled monoline capitals and then begin building on those monoline capitals to built-up capitals, first with pencils and then with broad-edge pens.

       Then the fun will continue with variations in letters, layout, and rhythm. We'll explore how and why these elements are so dramatically different in capitals than in minuscules.

       Suitable for beginners and experienced letterers alike. Workshop will be recorded and available for two months after the final session. 

    ABOUT BETH: Beth Lee is a lettering and book artist living in Bozeman, Montana. She holds a fine arts degree in graphic design, and has worked as a freelance calligrapher and graphic designer since 1982. Beth has also taught calligraphy and book arts for 40 years, both locally and around the United States. Current work includes lettering on bespoke fly fishing rods and writing out historical documents for publishing projects. She is the calligraphy correspondent for the national Guild of BookWorkers Newsletter. Her work may be found in university and private collections around the United States.
