Hand made name cards that serve as good take-home gifts
Much fun at this workshop organized by MADCAP (Mycopiepage) on the 13th October, 2019 at a coworking space (Golden Square CBD) from 10:30-4:30.
Loved that I had 15 participants register and make the time on a Sunday and be so involved throughout. Always a happy kitten to be talking Calligraphy and spreading the love!
Most of us!
Three very useful instructions and one supportive dad who came in with his two kids!
Going through some flourishing examples
She's definitely smiling, sparkling and shining!
Look at how neat this turned out!
Love to see this enthusiasm, some participants make more than one piece!
I spent a couple of hours on 5th October, 201, a Saturday with four wonderful women, diving into the world of brush lettering. The venue was this beautiful art studio on Kanakapura Road, ideal for art workshops and art-a-thons.
We had a fairly varied set of backgrounds but each with some artsy connection – One teenager, who’s learning many different art forms and skills and enjoys ink doodling, but also brings to the table the inherent advantage of being still very comfortable and used to using pens and paper (We’ve gone very digital!). Two women with strong decoupage backgrounds and one with an artistic bent of mind that includes watercolor works, music, lettering and a whole bunch of other things too!
We spent our three hours learning basic strokes, alphabets, words, connections and finally also designing and making one creation to take back home on watercolor paper. One participant created a bunch of different designs, I love this enthusiasm!
There was also a popup by Artzo, a stationery store – they had a wonderful selection of all types of pens, papers, even some hard to snag brands like Sakura and Tombow. I cannot wait to visit the store in person and fill my bag with goodies!
Loved how this workshop went, can’t wait for the next one!
Calligraphy bucket list stuff - I spent three days with Nina Tran, the pointed pen queen in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia learning a new script and technique for flourishing. Inspiring, informative and soul filling!
