Workshops

The SfC generally has WORKSHOPS throughout the year, usually a variety of the different calligraphy-related disciplines our members enjoy. We invite instructors from all over the country and the world, who are part of the international calligraphic community, but we also invite instructors from our incredible local list.

Our seven Regional Chapters also organize all kinds of programs and workshops. Check the main Calendar listing for events in your area, or find the Regional representative for the chapter that most interests you. Currently, events are being conducted online, for safety reasons. Please note that a few future events are tentatively listed as in-person. That may change based on pandemic conditions. Before registering, please consult with the workshop coordinator listed on the event's webpage to be sure that event will work for you.

    About the workshop: In this calligraphic workshop students will practice the fundamentals of writing Mr. Greco’s original hand, Toltec Gothic. Students will learn minuscules and majuscules as well as a series of abstract glyphs. The course will include flourishing and swashes and will conclude with composing a few lines of text, combining two different pen sizes. It might be a bit challenging, but will be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience.

    About the instructor: Mr. Greco is one of America's most experienced practitioners of traditionally inspired hand lettering and calligraphy. He is the recipient of numerous design awards and has received a certificate for city beautification from the L.A. mayor's office.

    After decades of logo design practice, he has turned his expertise towards "Calligraphitti" fine art and large scale murals in L.A. under the pseudonym "Toltec".

    He is a former instructor of Expressive Type at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.

    BE FEARLESS - A WAY OF CREATING WITHOUT WORRY

    2 Day Workshop – Intermediate-Advanced Level with Amity Parks

    Wednesday, 19th April  &  Thursday, 20th April, 2023

    LOCATION:

    In person at the Veteran's Memorial Building - 4117 Overland Ave., Culver City, CA 90230. (Corner of Overland Ave and Culver Blvd.) Free parking located along Culver Blvd.

    COURSE DESCRIPTION:

    Imagine having time dedicated to focusing and exploring a series of works that combine meaningful words and images in multiple ways. Our focus will be on layout and design, layering lettering techniques, combining text and images, an most importantly learning to work one multiple pieces at once in order to overcome the "fear" we develop when the investment is focused on a single precious piece. The freedom of multiples allows us to take more chances, to do the unexpected and not settle on the first solution to a problem. By working in a series we forget the preciousness of each piece knowing that not everyone will be successful, and embracing that freedom to make mistakes.

    Throughout the class we will employ a variety of techniques, such as painting, drawing, collage, and image transfer in combination with our calligraphy. While not strictly a lettering class, we will incorporate our calligraphy throughout the process. Layering, masking and photo transfer techniques with a variety of mixed media allow for risk taking and experimentation as we discuss layout principles and make thoughtful design choices. You will work in a small scale in multiples, focusing on the development of a series of work, refining your designs and the integration of images, words and letters into your pages.

    You will explore how to incorporate personal meaning into your pieces, and why this is necessary to create work that tells a compelling story. The class includes a discussion on the importance of choosing words that are not only interesting to look at, but add meaning to your work, avoiding the obvious and respecting your audience enough to leave some of the mystery for them to solve.

    By the end of class you should have a few resolved final pieces, a pile full of work that needs more attention and the skills to go back to your studios equipped with a way of working without worrying!

    A SHARP PENCIL AND A KEEN EYE

    A two day workshop  - All Skill Levels

    Saturday, April 22  &  Sunday, April 23, 2023

    LOCATION:

    In person at the Veteran's Memorial Building - 4117 Overland Ave., Culver City, CA 90230. (Corner of Overland Ave and Culver Blvd.) Free parking located along Culver Blvd.

    WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

    In this class, the humble pencil and its relatives become powerful tools in creating many effects from subtle to stunning. We will use pencils, erasers, graphite sticks/blocks, powdered graphite and their water-soluble cousins to explore the possibilities of this medium for creating refined works of art to quickly made drawings in our sketchbooks.

    Starting with basic drawing principles like line quality and shading, we will experiment with each tool to discover the marks it can produce. We will then move on to drawing letters and designing word groups, both formal and casual. The monochromatic drawn letterform forces us to slow down and relate more organically to the forms we are creating. You will find drawing letterforms with care and thoughtfulness to be so helpful in improving your design and lettering skills and in allowing for more refined and subtle attention to detail.

    Further time will let us explore how to integrate our letters with their backgrounds into designs that will grab our viewer's eye. Finally I'll show you some of the tricks I've learned to save time and ensure success when working with this versatile medium.

    This 2-day online course will help you learn and unify the forms that harmonize the minuscule alphabet of a formal Italic hand. We will work with various pens and ink on paper. 

       We will study the forms at a large size with a 6mm Pilot Parallel pen and then transition into smaller letters written with a Speedball C-2 nib.
