No matter what holidays you celebrate throughout the year, and whether they are small family gatherings or extended family events, place cards always add a special touch to your table setting, especially when they are hand made! In this class, learners will choose hand lettering styles to make their place cards. We will talk about layering papers, adding embellishments or adornments and other ways to make the place cards special. Of course, these techniques can be used for other projects as well! Supplies Papers - card stock (110lb. found in many stores) is best for the actual card, but construction paper, scrapbook paper, or any other papers you have that are good for layering Scrap paper to test markers, doodles, and letters Black Sharpie markers – fine and ultrafine Colored markers Colored pencils Pencil Bar Eraser Glue stick Ruler
Learning Goals
My goal is for artists to have fun making useful place cards to enjoy during family celebrations with hand lettering styles they choose and embellishments to make them unique.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from UCLA
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA and spent my first 10 years out of college working with professional designers and photographers in the publishing world. During that time, I designed and approved layouts to go to print. I learned how typefaces and various hand-lettering techniques can take an entire spread to a higher level and catch a reader's attention. I have also enjoyed journaling and used special hand-lettering techniques in my own work for many years. I am excited to share this with others!
