No one can deny that if you're rifling through a stack of mail and you spot a beautiful envelope, you can't help but stop, pause, and feel welcomed in by the calligraphy.
Learn to create and capture that feeling! Join experienced instructor Bryn Chernoff for a one-hour class walking you through her detailed process for creating a beautifully addressed envelope.
This class covers an essential range of topics for beginning to intermediate calligraphers, including:
- Choosing papers and what to look for
- Mixing inks, matching colors, using gouache
- Accomplishing a neat and centered layout
- Spacing and style ideas
- Setting up a mailing list and tricks of the trade
