Brush Lettering Basics for Beginners

Brush lettering is super-popular right now, and let’s face it; this is a cool, versatile writing style that will serve you well. In this workshop you’ll get a thoroughintroduction to the basics. We’ll begin with individual strokes, and then build upon them to make rhythmic patterns and to form both the upper and lower-case alphabets. In the morning, we’ll focus on laying a strong foundation and becoming familiar with the unique aspects of writing with a pointed brush. As the day progresses, we’ll move from black ink to playing with color; from single letters to dynamic, brush-lettered words, then on to phrases and short quotes.

This is a good class for beginning calligraphers, students of pointed pen calligraphy, hobbyists, and handwriting enthusiasts. No previous lettering experience necessary.
