Upcoming Workshop:
Spooky Cards for Halloween
Saturday, September 12th
In this workshop, we will be covering a spooky Halloween card idea that pulls inspiration from historic lettering samples found in The Business Educator and private collections. This design will introduce attendees to some very basic engrossing skills, a bit of text lettering, and some design thinking all in the context of a fun holiday card that can be sent to friend in time for the spooky season.
To participate in this two-hour workshop, you will need:
- A few pieces of Arches 90lb Hot Press Watercolor Paper to mock up a card with
- A pointed pen of your choice for drawing/lettering (Hunt 101, LPEF)
- A ~2mm broad pen of your choice (Brause recommended)
- A straight pen holder
- One ounce of black sumi ink
- A watercolor brush (Size 0, pointed round shape)
- A webcam and computer (no blank screens, please)
