Layering with Letters Workshop by Roann Mathias
| art, beginning calligraphy, calligraphy, Classes, experienced calligraphers, Workshops
| Permalink
Workshop Description
In this workshop, you will learn how to create multiple layers using text. This kind of layering creates interesting patterns, as well as a sense of depth in your art. Using gesso, acrylic paint and acrylic mediums on paper, we will paint on and scrape out letterforms. Neuland will be the primary style of lettering for this class, so there will be time spent reviewing that hand.
Roann should need no introduction to our guild as an accomplished calligrapher and teacher. Roann is a mixed media artist specializing in calligraphy. She designs greeting cards, stationery and calendars for Conception Abbey’s Printery House. Other clients include Cleo, Abbey Press and DaySpring. Her work has been published in Letter Arts Review and Somerset Studio Magazine, and exhibited at Chicago
