Welcome!
We
are excited about another year of fun, creativity, and learning.
Each month, members will create a lettered piece to develop and
use lettering skills. During the weeks between the meetings,
they will create a project (such as a card or a dimensional
project) and bring it to the next meeting for “Show and Tell”.
The projects will then go on display in the showcase at the
library. Additionally, a half hour or so will be devoted to
working on a specific, sometimes new, hand and practicing the
lettering of that hand. We will be devoting two months for each
of three hands this year. |
