    SPRING FLING - IN PERSON


     

    Sponsored by the Inland Empire
    Saturday, April 26 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

    Complimentary Outreach Event - Open to Members and Visitors

    About this event:

    Copperplate is a popular lettering style. In this introductory session, we’ll write in that style, using a brush marker. Our letters will be a little less formal than traditional copperplate.  This three hour session will be a quick introduction to copperplate and the brush pen, or a refresher for those who already know the hand and this tool. 

    Presenter: Kristi Darwick

    Supplies included

    Coffee & Tea will be provided and we'll take a short break. Feel free to bring a snack to share.
