A lovely hand-addressed card or envelope is a lost art! Add a personal touch to holiday cards, wedding invitations, or any correspondence with traditional Calligraphy. This technique-based class will introduce you to Old English-style Calligraphy. This is not italic, but rather the more traditional style (think newspaper mastheads). The lowercase alphabet will be practiced, with like letters shown together so you can begin to master the basic skills needed to form letters. You will receive two felt-tipped markers to keep (great for left or right-handers) and practice papers with guides. This class is fast-paced but fun, with prizes given at the end of class.

Whether you've colored before or are curious about getting started, this class will introduce you to alcohol markers. Karen will talk about Crafter's Companion's TriBlend Spectrum Noir marker system, how it compares to other brands like Copic, other supplies that will lead to successful coloring, and then take you and the brand-new pens you receive in class through a "how-to" to color a lovely floral image. Blending, shading, adding texture, and correcting will all be covered, and other great tips will also be shared. In addition to product information, you'll take with you a 6-piece set of TriBlend markers (each pen has three shades - so 18 shades total!) – a $30 value! No supplies needed (just scissors and adhesive if you wish to complete a card in class) and all levels welcomed. Come join us for education, hands-on technique, and fantastic end-of-class giveaways!

"What adhesive should I use?" We will answer that common question in this relaxing and informative lecture-style class. You'll receive a bundle of sticky goodness featuring top-quality name brands including Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Tombow, as well as an information sheet highlighting all the products presented as a great reference. We will talk about various tape runners, liquids, and other adhesive options including how to remove or "suspend" adhesive if you need to redo your project! In addition to your take-home class product pack, lots of additional adhesive goodies will be given as bonus prizes at the end of class. Please Note: The photo is sample of products presented, not the take home goody bag.
