Connie Furgason  - Parallel Pens: Letters & Lines - Oct 27 & 28, 2025

The Pilot Parallel pen isn’t just for lettering — it’s a creative powerhouse. With its razor-sharp edge, you can shift seamlessly between crisp strokes and flowing textures, making it as much a drawing tool as a writing one. Its steady ink flow invites spontaneity, letting you explore rhythm and form without pause.

In this immersive two-day workshop, you’ll experiment with an exciting range of lettering techniques that highlight contrast, energy, and design. Each exercise builds toward compositions that don’t just sit on the page — they dance with visual interest. Expect to leave with new confidence, fresh techniques, and pages filled with bold, expressive lettering.
