  Have to write a long name on a placecard?  Or a very long text to fit in an 8” x 10” frame?  Spend two days with diminishing letters.  Work with adjusted tools and with varied spacing and scale to receive desired results.  Wrapping up will be the creation of a little booklet with a soft cover.

  Number of participants would be 15, but I would consider having more if more want to register.

  This would be a two day workshop, October 24 & 25, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm.
