FOSTERING COMMUNITY THROUGH THE ART OF BEAUTIFUL WRITING
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS

NEXT MEETING: JANUARY 18, 2025 | 9:30 AM
Valentine Colag-raphy
Presented by Debbie L.
We will focus on collage as a tool for creative expression which you can use to supplement your calligraphy and lettering practice.
Debbie will provide:
The substrate (the paper that will be our “canvas” for creating collage pieces and blank card stock/envelope for a collage greeting card)
The adhesive (a little cup of gel medium for each person)
The collage papers
Participant supply list:
Scissors
Inks – reds/pinks/black/white/metallic
Your favorite calligraphy tools (for mark making and/or lettering)
Paper punches - heart or other shapes
Optional - straight edge paper cutter / exacto knife and cutting mat
Embellishments – wink of stella / metallic markers / Fintec metallic watercolor
But...if you run out of the house empty-handed and come with zero supplies, you’ll still be able to go home with a cool collage. There will be enough paper and glue for you to make a collage with us. The supplies listed above will help—though--if/when the inspiration strikes you. There will be some supplies provided for a good creative experience!
