The Indiana Limestone Symposium is offering a NEW and EXCLUSIVE class on Monday, June 2, 2025 recommended for anyone who would like to learn The Art of Lettering.
This one-day class will focus on the graphic design and layout of lettering to be done on paper, and does not involve working with stone. Students will be focusing on letterforms: Learning about proportions, balance, grace, strength, spacing and layout. Discussion of raised letters versus classic V-cut. Aspects of light and shadow. We’ll be working with pencil and a chisel-edged brush on paper.
- #2 Pencil
- eraser
- sharpener
- 18”-24” ruler
- pad of lighter-weight bond paper (minimum 16” dimension)
- one small tube of black gouache (a type of artist paint) with a small tight-lidded container to mix it with water
