Workshop Descriptions: Modern Calligraphy Learn the modern calligraphic skill of brush lettering: This flowing lettering style is perfect for personalizing everything from cards and gift tags to place-settings and baubles. In the workshop, you'll learn to use a brush pen, familiarising yourself with drills you can use to develop your muscle memory, before going on to form the four different letter groups and connect the letters to create words and phrases. You can also begin to embellish your lettering by adding floral elements and scrolls. You'll come away from the workshop with a set of coloured pens ideal for continuing your brush lettering journey at home as well as a brush lettering guide and practise sheets. Take some time out to practise this calming skill and, before long, you will be able to create beautiful hand-written cards and messages that your friends and loved ones will adore. The workshop is led by Qualified Teacher and Designer, Ellen Strachan in the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of Made in Greenwich workshop space. Chalkboard Lettering Whether you want to spruce up your memo-board, write uplifting quotes for your home or decorate chalkboards for commercial use, this is the workshop for you! We'll be using hand-lettering, the process of drawing the outlines of letters and filling them in, rather than using individual strokes to form the body of the letter. The workshop includes: • Introduction to three basic types of hand-lettering that are the foundation of many hand-lettering alphabets. • Learn the process of drawing hand lettering including forming guidelines, sketching letters and giving letters weight. • 3 counter-intuitive hacks to make your letters look like a pro's. • How to zhuzh-up your letters by adding dimension, embellishments, and illustration • Design and decorate your own mini chalkboard to take home. The workshop is led by Print Designer and Lettering Artist, Ellen Strachan Drawing for people who think they can’t Do you want to draw but think you can't? This could be the workshop to unlock your brain's potential to draw by helping you to make the switch from using the left-hand side of the brain to the right. The left, analytical brain is good for mathematics and language but tends to encourage us to represent what we see with symbols rather than helping us to observe closely. In this workshop lead by Artist and Qualified Teacher, Ellen Strachan, we will use simple drawing exercises that confound the left-hand side of the brain and force us to switch to using the right-hand side, instantly improving our observational drawing skills. With practise, it becomes easier to make the left-right switch, leading to a permanent improvement in drawing skill. We'll be following the methods devised by American Artist and Educator, Betty Edwards, in her 1979 book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain which remains the dominant book on this subject to date.
