  ABOUT THIS CLASS SERIES: This 6-week class leads you on a colorful path through gorgeous greens, blissful blues, and passionate purples by exploring color choices for a lettering project to complete in class. While learning the basics of color theory we will discover how to create a simple watercolor background and how to write with gouache to produce a pleasing project in which the colors harmonize beautifully. Students should have some experience writing with dip pens.

  All levels. Sessions will be recorded and available for two months after close of class. 

  ABOUT CAROL:  I can't remember a time when I didn't enjoy the act of writing. Early fond memories include pleasant hours of both writing and drawing. Pen and ink fascinated me in high school and college art classes.

  •     As an adult, I was intrigued by the calligraphy styles I learned in a survey class. The intriguing thick and thin lines created by the broad-edged pen captivated me!
    
  •      After years of classes and study I begin taking on clients and students. I've been in business now for 35+ years, all the while enjoying new friends who come across my path because of calligraphy.
    
  •     Founder and member of Waco calligraphy guild – 1988, member of Kalifrafos (Dallas) 1999 – present, Captivating Color mini-workshop teacher at Legacies III

  Saturdays, November 11, 18, December 2, and 9, 10am-noon PST 

  ABOUT  THE WORKSHOP: We will take a look at the history of the Italic hand, the tools and materials used, and the various techniques to create a script that is both powerful and beautiful. 

  Welcome to this workshop where we'll cover the basics of italic! Our focus is on the Italic hand and how to use the broad-edged pen as our primary tool. We'll start by looking at the construction of letters, developing good proportions and rhythm, and exploring how to write texts that are pleasing to the eye. Our approach is slow and concentrated, allowing us to take the time to fully immerse ourselves in the craft. 
  
  Through practice and dedication, we will gain the knowledge to take our formal lettering to the next level. 

  By the end of the workshop, we hope to have developed the skills necessary to create a refined and elegant script.

  ABOUT ELMO: He was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He studied at the Rotterdamse Grafische School (school for printing and graphic arts) and finished his study of graphic and typographic design at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. In 1986, Elmo attended a workshop in France with Claude Mediavilla and considers this his start on the path of calligraphy. He has taught workshops in different countries in Europe, as well as in Australia, South Korea, Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.. Elmo has also taught a post-graduate course in type design at The Royal Academy of Arts. After graduating from the Academy, he worked as a freelance type designer for DTL, and worked as a graphic designer.

  About the workshop: 

  „Letters act as practical and useful signs, but also as pure and inner melody.“ Wassily Kandinsky

  Pure form, the quality of the line and the ornamental potential of writing - this is

  what it´s all about in this class. We will play with letterform variations, experiment

  with layout-ideas and then finish it all up with a spark of gold.

  Basic alphabet will be the Antiqua-letterforms - even if you haven´t tried writing

  them yet, your eye is used to them. We will use them and play with them, transform

  them and create new compositions. Step-by-step through the creative process up to

  a series of works.

  We will incorporate gold, will learn about some glittering effects, highlighting

  certain areas and a very easy way of gilding. Let´s have fun!

  The workshop will be recorded. 

  Experience Level: Beginners through advanced.
