Learn Lettering
What's the difference between calligraphy and hand-lettering? In most cases, it really boils down to approach and tools. Calligraphy requires a manipulation of tools that can be intimidating to master. Acquiring the right tools can also be expensive and time-consuming. While hand-lettering draws from the foundations of calligraphy, the tools and approach can be infinitely simplified. This class does just that: we'll be diving into the foundations of calligraphy through hand-lettering, how to break and expand on stylistic rules all with copy paper and pencil.
This listing includes just the online class. Optional materials used in the course:
- General Pencil hand-lettering set OR Watercolor pencils and a regular pencil
- Micron PN
- Gelly Roll (size 10 is my fave, but any size will do)
