Come for a Ride on the Wild Side

Whether you’re a novice or have been practicing for years, take a side trip to explore ways to present your hand lettering. Spend several days freewheeling. No pre-­planning. Get in. Buckle up. Come for a ride on the wild side. You drive, I’ll guide. The path is different for every traveller.

Sometimes you need to get lost before you are found.


How lost?

Lettering requires discipline. This tight approach to letterforms can creep into the way you design. Set aside this tight approach for a less formal one. Let loose on design but continue to build the strength of your letterforms.

Map Your Adventure

Begin your journey with a short text of your choice. Play with familiar and funky tools—try new ones! Through guided exercises, you’ll create pages to bind into a book.

Ready?

Pack your sense of adventure. I’ll help you unpack your wild side. You’ll be freewheeling before you know it!
