Script Design | From Traditional to Modern

Weekend Workshop

Creating your own lettering style is fun and easy when it's based on the foundation of traditional letter forms. As a calligrapher and stationery designer, Bailey has made a name for herself over the years with her unique and varied calligraphy styles.

Besides it being fun to experiment with and design new styles, this process has been crucial to developing her business and making her work stand apart from other lettering artists. In this four week course, we dive into the process used to create different styles, whether they're traditional, modern or somewhere in between. By focusing first on the "nut and bolts" of letter construction and traditional letter form variations, we offer students of all levels a unique opportunity to both train their skills and develop uniqueness at the same time.
