Fall 2025 In-Person Workshop





n

Lively Letters - Refreshed

with Julie Wildman of Chicago

at Carnegie Mellon University

Saturday and Sunday, November 15-16, 2025 • 10am - 5pm

This class was designed for calligraphers to free up their lettering, and to tap into that playful, “dancing” part inside each person. From monoline to brush, traditional to funky, we will explore new ways to bring life to your lettering.

Principles of design will be used as we discuss where the next letter or word should go, what makes a pleasing composition, and where and when to apply color.
