Letters as Art with Lorraine Douglas
March 15 and 16, 2025 Class is FULL
This two-day workshop focuses on creating pieces inspired by the imaginative work of artists like Paul Klee and Hans Schmidt. We will work with water-soluble pencils, watercolours, and collages to celebrate letters in beautiful paintings.
We will learn how to
gild with 24-carat gold leaf on Japanese papers to add as a collage and how to do
embossing to set off your work.
You need no experience to enjoy this playful workshop, and you will come away with new ideas for creating small but striking works of art. Fear not, experienced calligraphers; Lorraine has ideas to keep you challenged, too!
