Join Birmingham-based artist and illustrator Nancy Hollis for a hands-on exploration of playful, illustrative hand-lettering—no precision or drafting skills required! This workshop takes a loose, creative approach to letterforms, inviting you to experiment with fun, loopy, and expressive styles that help tell your story.
We’ll look at inspiring examples together, then dive into activities like:
-
Styling letters in unique and surprising ways
-
Turning words into literal and figurative illustrations
-
Designing your own hand-drawn font
Provided Materials: pencils, micron pens, erasers, sketchbook paper, calligraphy pens, rulers, acrylic or India ink, and fillable brush pens.
Optional to Bring: your own sketchbook and favorite drawing tools.
Whether you’re new to lettering or looking to expand your creative toolkit, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, new techniques, and a collection of expressive hand-drawn letters to inspire your practice.
