Online – 3 Sessions – Tuesdays, October 4, 11, and 18, 2022, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., US Eastern time.

The only way to achieve an interesting and well executed piece of calligraphy is to have a really well planned layout worked up in pencil before you begin any inking. In this workshop, we’ll work on using a T-square, using skeletal letter shapes, centering text, and utilizing thumbnail sketches to create a really effective layout for your calligraphy. We’ll discuss things to consider as you plan your layout, tips and tricks, and achieving a strong composition. If you like, come prepared with some quotes to use.

After you register, you will receive a separate email with log-in information for the online session.
