FLEXIBLE LETTERS AND FLOWING LINES with Nancy Hays-Hills
Sponsored by the San Fernando Valley Regional Group
This is your chance to spend a few hours breaking free of pen angles and straight lines, and instead dip your toes into the ocean of drawn letterforms which follow their own paths across the page. We’ll explore a number of tools suitable for drawing letters, from pencils and pointed pens to edged nibs and my favorite, the Kemper Fluid Writer. You’ll see how simple it is to add multiple colors to a letter as you create words that dance to your own inner rhythm. This is a class open to all skill levels. The beginner will discover new tools, and the more advanced letterers may find that they return to traditional scripts with a fresh perspective on form and negative space.
