Level: Beginner - Intermediate
Sessions: Two (2 hour evening class x 2)
Dates: Wednesday, January 8 and Wednesday, January 15 from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
This two-part workshop — suitable for beginners — discusses basic principles of typographic design (designing with text and letters). We will also discuss methods to reverse designs for printing text. Participants will spend one session designing their block using a choice of their own hand drawn lettering or various printed out letters and words to arrange and trace. Carving will take place over both sessions. The second class will include an overview of printing techniques. Students will have the opportunity to create several prints from their lettering designs.
All tools and materials supplied for use during the workshop.
Workshops are held in-person in Kemptville, Ontario, Canada.
