Description

The world needs a bit more sparkle and magic in it…so why not use mica to brighten it up? It is a versatile medium and adds a touch of elegance to all that we do. Since mica can be used in numerous applications, students will focus on how it can suit their needs as calligraphers and artists…including lettering, design work, and sometimes just adding a touch of elegance into the work we are doing. This includes practically any elements of design. Exercises include: color mixing, making custom color charts, learning about consistency and why that is important. Using different tools, from metal nibs to brushes, students will push these amazing products to their limits, and discover how much they have to offer. Session recordings: A recording of the session will be provided within a few days following the conclusion of the session and will remain available for two months following the class. Handouts and Other Details: A full set of workshop handouts and all other course details, including the Zoom link to the day’s online session, will be made available to admitted students about a week before the session. Artist Bio: Suzie Beringer is a lettering artist who makes her home in the Pacific Northwest. With a degree in commercial art with a life-time passion for calligraphy, she is constantly exploring new possibilities and pushing herself creatively. Her work has been published in Letter Arts Review as well as other publications. As a teacher, Suzie loves to share her passion for mark making and design with others. As an artist, she loves the challenge and discovery that lettering on different surfaces brings. It has been said that, if something around her doesn’t move quickly enough, it may end up with letters on it! You can see more of Suzie’s work on Instagram: @penstrokedesignstudio.
