This lettering style is known for its dynamic, organic-looking letters and is celebrated for its versatility. We’ll review the upper & lowercase letters, numerals, and a variety of ways to make strokes. How to make a “cola pen” will also be covered.

November Meetup and Program

Add Gold Sparkle:  Creative Ways to Incorporate Gold Leaf
With Marjorie Bannish

Free and open to all! Please join us!
 
With the holidays coming up, Marjorie will explore three different ways of incorporating gold sparkle into your cards or other artwork. By using imitation gold leaf, the cost is minimal. We will discuss which glues (sizes) to use, the different methods of application, and how to successfully handle the five-inch square sheets of imitation gold. These processes are quite simple, and you will gain confidence the more you work with this medium.  

The November meetup, like all of our monthly meetups, will be a hybrid event, available both in-person at the Chelsea Art Center and online via Zoom. Members automatically receive an email with the Zoom link and supply list. Non-members can request the Zoom link by sending an email to [email protected].

For those local to the Ocala area, we hope you will join us in-person at Chelsea Art Center!

Roman capitals can be the most noble and challenging of all letter forms. If you have never done them before or you just need to brush up a bit, this workshop would be ideal. We will start with basic proportions in pencil, then trace over them with a broad edge nib. After lettering the alphabet, we will write quotes on pre-lined paper. Finally, we will spend ample time learning how to subtly articulate the serifs for the individual letters. By the end of the class, you will have the foundation and skills to appreciate and pursue these heroic letters for years to come.
