We are excited to be hosting our fall workshop with Sue Greenseth!

Get ready to travel back several decades and learn these unique and whimsical alphabets that became popular in the 1970s. These hands greatly influenced many calligraphers at the time, but they are just as relevant today as they were then.

In this workshop, the focus will be to move the pen angle to create interesting letter strokes. Two alphabet variations will be introduced, and students will have time to practice letter spacing. Through study and writing these unique shapes, students may be inspired to take their own lettering to a new level.

The hand requires many steep pen-turns, but even those who are inexperienced in pen manipulations seem to catch on and have lots of fun.
