In Hand Lettering Basics: Brush Lettering with Markers, calligrapher Joyce Gutierrez of Write Pretty Things will get you started on developing your own brush lettering technique and style! During this two-hour workshop, you will learn basic guidelines for hand lettering, and practice strokes that are commonly used to form your letters. You will also learn about proper brush pen pressure and grip, as well as correct body / hand positioning for practicing your brush lettering. Joyce will share with you her tools of the trade, including favorite types of brush markers and paper. Each student will work with a variety of brush markers, and will receive a moleskine journal and 3-4 notecards to use for in-class projects. Each student will also take home a workbook that includes strokes, drills, one lowercase alphabet guides, and tips on finding and further developing a personal brush pen calligraphy style. Have fun learning a new hobby with good company! No prior experience (or nice regular handwriting) required!
Supplies Needed: None.
Instructor Bio: Joyce Gutierrez is the modern calligrapher behind Write Pretty Things, and a longtime lover of beautiful lettering, paper, pens and stationery. Her love of black & white, clean lines, and just a little bit of rule breaking, extends to her calligraphy style of minimal flourishes and modern letterforms. When she's not designing sassy mugs or posting about tacos or dogs on Instagram, you'll likely catch Joyce planning her next trip, unintentionally killing succulents, or thinking about adopting another dog...
