Neuland with Martha Cole

Neuland is a chunky typeface developed by Rudolph Koch in the 1920’s. As a calligraphy hand its blocky boldness looks great in combination with lighter, curvier scripts. We will learn the letterforms with our 5 mm markers. Martha is bringing some surprise tools for us to play with as well.

Martha, who is past member of WCG, has been our program presenter previously, and she is a member of Austin’s Capital City Scribes calligraphy guild. She has fun with the many hands she knows.

Supply list:
 5 mm Zig marker
White gel pen (optional, only if you have one!) 

Next meeting: Saturday, October 12, 2024, 10 am, St. Matthew Lutheran Church

 

Dry Embossing on Paper

Take your calligraphy to the next level. In October Francis Stoppiello will teach us to emboss our lettering on paper.  We will develop stencils of letters that can be used over and over. You can use your hand lettering and embossing together to upgrade your calligraphy skills. There are so many projects where you can add an embossed initial or word to enhance the look of your calligraphy art.

Supplies Needed:

·         5-6 sheets of 9x12 watercolor Paper, 140#

·         Card stock for the actual embossing

·         Graph paper (optional)

·         Glue Stick

·         X-Acto knife sharp with spare blades

·         Cutting mat

·         Bandaids

·         Embossing tool

·         Light pad (if you have an extra, please bring to share)

Homework:

Please lightly write a letter of your choice on a 2”x2” piece of 140# watercolor paper. The letter should be about an inch tall. Please do not have any thin lines in the letter as it is more difficult to cut and emboss.
