FRIDAY, April 10, 2025, 6:30-8PM PST

Please note, we'll meet the second Friday, since our usual first Friday is Good Friday.

We start a series of studies of Speedball Sho Card Gothic and similar lettering styles, led by Kristi. We'll start with pen-written letters. In a subsequent session, we may write these letters using a flat brush. Our ultimate goal is to draw these letters. with a view toward creating a special, colorful project.

No charge for these Study Group Sessions. They are often led by members, who do not claim to be masters, sharing what they have learned. There is no requirement to have attended prior sessions. The aim is to share knowledge with newbies and to provide a refresher for those with more experience. Each individual Romans Study Group session requires separate registration. We plan to record this session. Kristi asks that you remind her! Recording will be available for two months.

Flexible Schedule for the evening:

6:30 - 6:45 Announcements.

6:45 - 7:45 Kristi will demo.

7:45 - 8:00 An opportunity for those who wish to share what they've completed before or during this session--we always love to see what our fellow lettering artists are up to. Also, there is time to ask more questions of our speaker.
