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:<ul><li>Choosing papers and what to look for</li>
<li>Mixing inks, matching colors, using gouache</li>
<li>Accomplishing a neat and centered layout</li>
<li>Spacing and style ideas</li>
<li>Setting up a mailing list and tricks of the trade</li>
<li>Working with clients and professional pointers</li>
</ul>Envelopes can present a lot of different challenges, variables, and opportunities — and they are often at the core of a calligrapher's client work. Mastering how to create a stack is essential for both your own personal practice and branching into the world of professional calligraphy.This visually rich class is a pleasure to watch and is packed with careful detail, useful trade tips, extensive demos, and exclusive resources that are essential to developing your calligraphy practice!________________This class is recommended for those with a basic familiarity with calligraphy.
