Playful Pressurized Letterforms

Workshop Description

Come learn how to make letterforms that will almost dance off the page. In this workshop you will be shown you the 'ins' and 'outs' of pressurized letterforms. Not only will you discover how to create elegance in your letters but also how to make them more playful and energetic! Our main focus will be on Roman Capitals. We will begin by looking at their formal proportions. Moving forward we will work using pressure & release in order to be successful in developing subtlety in our letterforms. Then we begin to play….with different exercises we will focus on creating exciting/dynamic and fun shapes that fit with our text. We will primarily be working with pencil. As we move along Suzie will demonstrate and explain why using different products/tools and papers as well as techniques can make an impact on our designs. There will also be focus on using a pointed pen.
