Introduction to Modern Brush Lettering

  • The Craft.ed Studio Main Street Concord MA 01742 United States (map)

Have you been intrigued by the influx of beautiful hand lettering seen at special events, on restaurant chalkboards, or online? Curious to give it a try but think that you can’t because your regular handwriting is lacking? Then this class is for you. You do NOT have to have perfect handwriting in order to learn modern brush lettering. Brush lettering is more about drawing letters rather than writing them. In this 2.5 hour workshop, you will learn the basics of brush lettering including:

  • How to do faux calligraphy with any type of writing tool

  • How to hold a brush pen in order to get contrasting thick/thin lines

  • Differences between brush pens

  • Practice drills

  • Letter formation

  • How to connect letters into words and phrases

  • Explore envelope art


You will receive brush pens, practice journal and a personalized canvas pouch from craft.ed to take home from the event to continue to your brush stroke techniques.

For ages 16+
