Dressed Letters

This is an online event.

Joining instructions will be provided after booking.

Details

Do you often find yourself wanting to dress up a letter or a couple of initials for an occasion or to give to someone special? This online workshop is a whirlwind of exciting and useful ways of making a letter more than it is. Tons of ideas, techniques and colour-ways to dress your letters in. Suitable for all levels.

Instructions

There’ll be a lot going on in this workshop so you can do some of what we’ll be looking at - working along with me for the parts that most interest you, but catch the recording later for all the other alternatives, or techniques that use other materials.

You’ll be asked to mute your sound, but there will be opportunities to ask questions and contribute to the processes.

After booking your place PDF handouts will be emailed to you 3 days before the workshop date. The recording cannot be downloaded but will be available to view for 30 days afterwards. Any links sent to you should not be shared with anyone else, as per the Ts & Cs, thank you.
