Program Description

Event Details

Turn your own handwriting into colorful creations that can be used for cards, journaling, doodling, and of course, just for fun!  Step by step, you will learn more than 20 techniques to alter your handwriting, add color with a basic set of supplies (no expensive tools needed!) and add decorative elements. We'll be playing with highlighters, pencils, colored pencils, gel pens, and markers. Plus, we'll create a mini-project with the techniques we'll learn.
