Flourishing Decorum

Instructor: Syeda Ullah

Sponsor: IE/PV

About the Workshop: In this class, we will learn beautiful flourishing techniques to better embellish your envelopes or whatever you would like to spruce up a bit. We will cover both contemporary and ornamental flourishing. In addition, I will also be teaching you techniques, and showing different supplies in which you all will be able to experiment with. We also cover design and layout techniques. After the demonstration, we will be doing a small project. The class is open to students of all levels from beginners to advanced. It is preferable that you have some experience with a pointed pen, as that will be our tool of choice.
