ROMAN CAPITALS UNLEASHED: FORM, FLAIR and FREEDOM
Saturday, September 27, 2025 9:30am-12:30pm (Pacific Time)
$40 (all paid workshops are for Members, only) No refunds--recording will be available for three months.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: In this class we’ll dive into the art of drawing Roman capitals using pencils and other drawing tools. We’ll start with the basics - formal letterforms and a simple pressure-and-release technique - before exploring all the possiblilities that will bring the letters to life. Along the way, you’ll discover a variety of creative variations that will make Roman capitals one of your most expressive and versatile hands. And while these letters may have a reputation for being serious, we’ll have some seriously good fun working with them!
All levels welcome. Recording will be available for three months.
ABOUT MARIE: Marie Fredriksson is a calligrapher based in southern Sweden, with a passion for calligraphy that started in her early teens. During the pandemic, Marie expanded her formal calligraphy skills by attending a variety of online classes focusing on letter drawing. This marked a pivotal shift in her artistic approach, transitioning from traditional calligraphy with nibs and ink to exploring drawn letterforms using pencils and other drawing tools. Her work spans from minimalistic pencil work to colorful and inventive lettering. She cites Jurgen Vercaemst, Yukimi Annand, Yves Leterme and Elmo van Slingerland as her most significant influences.
