In “Text & Textures,” you will learn how to create expressive feature words and blocks of lettering as visual texture, using nibs, ruling pens and other tools in unique ways. Although this online class is designed for those who know at least one calligraphy hand, it is not required; you can use your own handwriting. Class fee includes in-class feedback on your work as time permits (maximum of 20 students), emailed handouts and access to class video recording.
