New Calligraphy & Bookbinding Classes begin in March 2012

Hi Friends!

We have new classes beginning the second week of March 2012.

There are two Bookbinding Two (The Opened Book) classes beginning on Tuesday, March 13th.

The Daytime class has not yet made (7 seats available) but the Tuesday night class needs just ONE more student to make. Come on and sign up! Details for both are below.

Since our Wednesday night Copperplate class filled up, we created a Thursday night Copperplate class with those on the waiting list who missed out.

Happy Spring to all!

Bookmaking Two: The Opened Book with Anne Elser

If you've taken one or several bookmaking classes and are ready to create content, this class is ideal. Nothing can be more intimidating than a book of blank white pages. We will begin by creating signatures with different types, colors, ages and textures of papers. By alternating these pages with blanks, you'll have a book that wants to be altered further: touched, written in, cut into, stitched, painted and filled with purposeful doodling, writing and drawing. Working at your own pace, your book can be themed or worked loosely. The approach; "treasure hunt" pasting, binding, working and re-working will be an intuitive one. We will make at one book and a box for it to live in.

Calligraphy Two: Copperplate with Anne Elser

This is an introductory look at Copperplate, an elegant and elastic hand frequently used for formal invitations, documents and bridal events. Completely enchanting, the dramatic thicks and thins of this delicate hand will make you swoon.During the six week course, students will be given handouts and guide sheets, learning the upper and lower case characters. We will also address spacing and layout for addressing envelopes. Calligraphy is less about pretty handwriting, but more about DRAWING each and every letter. It's about establishing a pacing and rhythmic motion as you write - giving you a consistency of shapes and letters, and spaces in between words and lines. It is highly relaxing and meditative. Like yoga for the hands.
