Hand-Lettering and Calligraphy with Camila Lim-Hing

Join Camila Lim-Hing on a deep dive into surface design and explore hand-lettering on clay! 

During this workshop, participants will learn methods to apply underglaze and create written script on unfired ceramic vessels. Participants will have the opportunity to practice how to space, structure, and design lettering on greenware tiles, and observe a demonstration of these methods applied to a 3D vessel. Additionally, Lim-Hing will review how these methods of underglaze application can be applied to imagery outside of typography and lettering. This workshop is open to all skill levels.
