Save on Spring Lettering Workshops

For those of you who have been asking about spring classes, our next Lettering Workshop is on Saturday, April 7 at Fran’s Chocolates and will be all about brush lettering. This is a beginner level class (stay tuned for more intermediate classes!) and we will be learning lettering techniques with brush markers. We will go through the lowercase alphabet together. To celebrate the arrival of spring, you can save 15% off spring classes through Sunday, March 25! We also have a watercolor lettering class in May. Details and registration here!

Here’s a sneak peak at Fran’s Chocolates headquarters in Georgetown: 

Class will be held at the grand table below:


In other news, I spent 10 minutes at DANIEL SMITH: Artists’ Materials yesterday (my local go-to for art supplies) looking for the perfect yellow brush marker. Apparently it’s hard to translate yellow into a marker, but much easier to capture in a paint. In case you’re wondering, it’s Faber-Castell USA Dark Chrome Yellow 109.
