This workshop will cover experimenting with watercolor techniques mixed with gouache, pastel, and ink. How can a color palette be transformed into textures or backgrounds for calligraphic work? We will explore expressive botanical work, as well as background and figure textures in landscape and collaged papers. Compositions will be assembled for letters to be added later. Our work will result in a texture-like stitched piece along with a book-like creative piece.

Everybody has a lot of opinions. When it comes to the way letters are made, I am overflowing with them — and this is a class that lets ‘em fly. From classic to modern, I have thoughts about what works and what has always bugged the heck out of me, as well as things that I’ve changed my mind about over the years — good to bad and vice versa. The overwhelming look will be with respect, but I promise we’ll be catty, too.

We’re talking about pens and brushes, and scripts and caps — in short, everything, because everything has some impact on everything else. What can work here gets in our way there, but can really make it shine over there. There will be plenty of influence from some of history’s more unusual practitioners for whom I hold affection. I believe in calligraphy as a big circle and there isn’t a move or a letter that doesn’t have resonance elsewhere. So we’ll be locating all those bridges across that circle of writing.

All levels. Solid opinionated moves for the advanced beginner, and refinement and provocation for the experienced, and a chance to debate for all.

A blackletter hand like Textura prides itself on its upright demeanor and slow, steady movement, but its siblings Bastarde and Gothic Cursive are a bit more laid back (literally), and free flowing. We will explore these quicker hands, with historical and modern examples, step by step instruction and feedback. Join Cheryl in this workshop to create these fun and often floridly expressive hands.
