Hand Lettering Workshop
A two hour interactive lettering workshop taught at the University of Florida through Mint Design Studio.
I designed this class to help students create lettering with consistency, charm, and confidence.
In this workshop, I teach the foundations of hand lettering to beginners who would like to take the first steps towards being a practicing hand letterer. I created this class to offer a crash course on the tools and tips available in the world that will further one’s lettering journey.
Together we will learn how to…
Understand lettering anatomy
Set up proper guidelines to keep your lettering consistent and clean
Tackle tricky letters
Avoid common mistakes
Add swashes and flourishes that feel like decorations, not distractions.
Craft letters that are both lovely and legible
Never run out of space at the end of a word again
Develop a sense for visual hierarchy to conquer composition
Tips and tricks that’ll boost your lettering confidence
Hand lettering is a beautiful art form that I hold an abundant respect and appreciation for.
I am fortunate to have had professional practice as a hand letterer and sharing my tips and tricks with those who hope to begin the practice is a humbling and gratifying experience.
