These are just a few of the things that will be covered in the class...

• Session 2: In this session we also use a simplified ap- proach to learn how to write a complete majuscule alpha- bet.
• Session 3: With knowledge of the complete alphabet, we will learn how to bend our calligraphic compositions into circular designs.
• Session 4: We will conclude with a discussion and sample project using a more complex, interwoven circular geomet- ric design.
Student questions and interaction throughout the workshop will be encouraged and valued in the interest of providing as much individual attention as possible.
