  About the Workshop:
  

  Have you ever daydreamed about an envelope that travels? Picture this: snowflakes gently landing on your envelope, or autumn leaves dancing across your post. Welcome to "The Echoes of Envelopes," where each stamp is a promise and every seal a secret - wondering what stories your envelope could tell.

  Seasonal Celebrations: From the quiet beauty of winter's frost to the cheeky rustle of autumn, explore how to splash the seasons across your envelopes. We're talking real chill vibes and playful breezes!
  
  Crafting Touches: Fancy making tiny paper poinsettias? They're so cute, you might just forget to send them off! Learn this and more delightful details that make each envelope a bundle of joy.
  
  Creative Freedom:

   We'll show you the ropes and then let you swing. It’s your style, your spin. Who knows what magic you'll whisk up?

  The workshop will be recorded and available for three months.

  
  

  Who Should Attend:
  

  Do handwritten notes make your heart sing? Do you wish to add a sprinkle of your soul to each letter? If you're nodding (we see you!), then grab your quill (or pen!) and join us. Whether you're a seasoned scribbler or a curious newbie, we promise there are smiles and splatters of ink waiting for you!

  About Shreya:
  

  Introducing Shreya, your go-to envelope whisperer and nature’s best friend. She translates the quiet whispers of the wild into vivid watercolor stories. Not just an artist, Shreya’s also a loves letter-writing—she believes every envelope deserves a good chat before meeting the mailbox. With a paintbrush in one hand and a pen in the other, she champions the art of slowing down. Her personal motto? "Take your time; even snails reach their destinations!" Besides painting, Shreya adores journaling and the art of calligraphy, turning every page and letter into a dance of ink and emotions. Let’s not rush; let’s make art that feels like a good, long, friendly letter.

  ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP: Built-up capitals are infinitely variable and provide the maximum control over the letter forms. They also provide a deeper understanding of the shapes and spaces that make up our alphabet. The opportunity for variations is practically unlimited, from Trajan-like elegance to casual flair to playful silliness. And these variations can work together seamlessly.

     In this workshop, we will begin with pencilled monoline capitals and then begin building on those monoline capitals to built-up capitals, first with pencils and then with broad-edge pens.

     Then the fun will continue with variations in letters, layout, and rhythm. We'll explore how and why these elements are so dramatically different in capitals than in minuscules.

     Suitable for beginners and experienced letterers alike. Workshop will be recorded and available for three months after the final session.

She holds a fine arts degree in graphic design, and has worked as a freelance calligrapher and graphic designer since 1982. Beth has also taught calligraphy and book arts for 40 years, both locally and around the United States. Current work includes lettering on bespoke fly fishing rods and writing out historical documents for publishing projects. She is the calligraphy correspondent for the national Guild of BookWorkers Newsletter. Her work may be found in university and private collections around the United States.

  Program sponsored by Inland Empire Society for Calligraphy

  No charge for this hybrid ( In-person and On-line)  Outreach program.

  SATURDAY,  NOVEMBER 23, 10:30am - 1:30pm (PST)

  We're aiming to have more of an in-person presence, in addition to maintaining our robust online schedule. Locals are welcome to join us at the San Dimas Library to spread out with our project and enjoy each other's company as Cindy demonstrates. We'll have a sewing machine and some spare paints to share.  
  

  San Dimas Library, 145 N Walnut Ave San Dimas, CA 91773

  ABOUT THIS PROGRAM: Receiving personal mail is such a treat in these days of email and text messages. We will make several postcards from a variety of mixed-media supplies in a veryfreeform style. You absolutely do not need to have mixed-media experience to create a variety of striking postcards; Cindy will take us through the process every step of the way. You will learn a set of techniques that you can use over and over, while creating sets of postcards that each look different. Sending original artwork as a postcard is such a surprise for the recipient. I know they’ll love them!

  These postcards will meet the US Postal Services regulations for postcards that can be sent without envelopes. Like commercial postcards, there’s space on the back for a short message,as well as an address. These postcards have successfully made their way to Canada, too.

  Note from Kristi: although the sample cards don't show calligraphy being incorporated, I challenge participants to do that, once Cindy demonstrates the process. Members will be invited to participate in a mail exchange.

  Supply list: 20241123_Supply List for Postcards Class.pdf

  Skills required: all levels.

  Recording will be available for two months after the program.
