Calligraphy, with Michele Papineau
Wednesday, September 8, to Friday, September 10: 9 A.M.–1 P.M.
Member $175; Nonmember $225
Designed for students wanting to develop their own "pen attitude", the intent of our class is to study the basics of pointed pen hand lettering that is simple and can be used for every day writing. We will learn the upper and lowercase letterforms to create beautiful hand addressed envelopes, elegant place cards and artful poems. Lastly, flourishes and flair add the final pizzaz and fun to any project. We will learn how and when to incorporate these elements to make any hand lettering truly your own!
No previous calligraphy experience necessary. At the end of the class, students will have a completed piece suitable for framing so please bring a short verse or poem to the class.
Michele Papineau has been doing calligraphy for 30 years. Her hand lettering for brides and designers has appeared in multiple publications such as Martha Stewart, Town and Country, The Knot, Cooking Light and multiple bride magazines and hard bound books. She grew up on Cape Cod and now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where she has had a commercial calligraphy studio for 29 years.
