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.
