MORNING CLASSES
CHERYL TASAKA – CASUAL BUILT UP CAPS
In this session, we will develop a process of designing capitals with a “casual, elegant” look. Using pencils and/or gray fine line markers, mono line letters are modified by adding weight, using serifs and variations. This lettering is useful when creating different layouts eg. vertical, horizontal, bouncing, stacking and blocks of lettering.
CAROLYNN DALLAIRE – MINI BOOKBINDING TREASURES
Construct several notebooks and a small accordian book using beautiful decorative papers, cardstock and heavier text papers. Basic binding structures will be learned. Each book will be completed in a decorative way.
WENDY COWLEY – WEAVER-STYLE WRITING
Gwen Weaver developed this style characterized by slanted ovals and a little added pressure on the down strokes. It is ideally suitable for both the pointed pen and coloured pencils. It can have very short ascenders and descenders or large flourished ones. There are no uppercase letters, so it is quick to learn.

VIOLET SMYTHE – CAPS ’N ROSES
Beautiful Drawn Caps complimented with those gorgeous turn of the 20th century influenced roses we all love! Arts and Crafts, as well as Art Nouveau, was heavily influenced by the fine arts and included stained glass, painting, bas relief and finely crafted wood and metal, both in architecture and interior design.
Think Charles Rennie MacIntosh or Dard Hunter… his is going to be a mash-up of styles!
