This hands-on intro class focuses on how to achieve lettering using a brush pen. We’ll begin by going over a brief history of lettering/calligraphy and the differences between fonts, calligraphy, and hand/brush lettering. Students will gain knowledge and become more comfortable with brush lettering following a series of practice sheets and handouts using Crayola markers and Tombow brush pens. Participants will learn the proper lettering techniques and strategies as well as materials, best practices, and letter enhancements that take their work to the next level. Students will leave with a packet of resources that equips them to continue lettering after the class. Participants may work on a final hand-lettered poster to take home.

For more information about the class please contact Erica Cook concinnitybyerica@gmail.com.

A materials fee of $20 will be collected by your instructor (cash, venmo or credit card accepted) on the first day of class.

This class will explore mixed media painting techniques with an emphasis on experimentation with materials and on finding a personal style. Some of the topics covered include collage and layering with acrylic gels and media, image transfer, ink, monoprints, and stenciling.  Students will leave the class with two finished pieces of which they can be proud!  The first class will be informational. A detailed materials list will be distributed and discussed.

Class size is small – LIMITED AVAILABILITY. Registrations with payment will be accepted on a first come basis.

Only students who have previously taken the Woodworking Class taught by Lynn Sweet should register for the Woodworking for Veterans class.

Often folks having taken the Beginner’s class desire to continue taking further instruction and make use of the shop. These are our ‘Veterans’. Though veteran students are also required to participate in the orientation on the first night, these students are not required to take part in the joinery exercises that absorb several early classes. Instead veteran students can proceed to projects that have been permitted, though they are still under supervision. It should be stated that veteran students work more independently using techniques absorbed in the initial class, allowing the instructor to concentrate on the safety and instruction of the students in the beginner’s class.

Please be present at the first class to participate in mandatory power tool orientation. If you cannot make the first class, you cannot participate in the rest of the course. Please plan accordingly.
