Snapshot from My Studio: March 29, 2018 at 12:27PM

In just over a week, April 7-8, in Albany, CA, I’ll be teaching this style of calligraphy — Neuland (not to be confused with Neuland markers, though you can certainly DO Neuland calligraphy with Neuland markers! Although we’ll primarily be using Zig 5mm markers and steel pens) — at a two-day workshop for the Friends of Calligraphy.
🖍
I’m going back to my roots, coming full circle. Not only did I used to be a professional calligrapher and calligraphy teacher, but Neuland was what I taught at my first-ever workshop, way back in the 90s!
🖍
I gave a demo of Neuland at the Friends of Calligraphy Spring Retreat a couple of years ago, which is what led to this gig. But it’s been so long since I’ve taught the full workshop that NONE of my lesson plans were in digital form! Just handwritten scraps.

Guess who has been putting everything into MS Word this week? 😁

I hope teaching is like a 🚲
I know it’s one of my favorite things, ever.
And I know I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve that I didn’t have the last time I taught, thanks to all the new tools I’ve been learning! 🖍
I’m always nervous before I teach, but if past experience is any indicator, learning will happen, and a good time will be had by all, including me. 😊
