PRESENTER: Sue Greenseth
SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)
REGISTRATION: Free program limited to 20 students.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Travel back several decades and enjoy these unique and whimsical alphabets that became popular in the 1970s. These hands greatly influenced many calligraphers at the time, but they are just as relevant today as they were then.
In this short workshop, the focus will be to move the pen angle to create interesting letter strokes. Two alphabet variations will be introduced. Through study and practice of these unique shapes, students may be inspired to take their own lettering to a new level.
