FOSTERING COMMUNITY THROUGH THE ART OF BEAUTIFUL WRITING

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS

 

Capital City Scribes (CCS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing in the appreciation of, and providing education in the art of calligraphy.

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!
