Attention Brush Lettering Workshop Registrants!
Jan 7/8, 2017 from 11AM-4:30PM, due to inclement weather.
Our makeup dates are two weekends from now:
Sat/Sun January 21st/22nd from 11AM-4:30PM.
If these dates do not work for you, please contact Preston Ferguson
(Preston@bindersart.com) at Binders for a full refund or call 404-237-6331 x 208.
I will be offering this content as a class and another workshop at my Decatur location later in the year. Stay tuned for more details.
What you’ll need in class:
• Supplies can be purchased at Binders (with a 10% discount) for anything on the supply list
you don’t already have. (Please see supply list at the bottom of this email.)
• Please bring a $5 fee payable to the instructor (Anne Elser) the first day of a class,
lesson or workshop for a printed set of the Exemplar Packet we will be using. This helps cover
the costs of both online storage of the file and cost of printing.
I also bring them to each class to avoid shipping charges.
Smaller containers are .50 each and sold in quantities of 12 for $6.00.
Larger containers are $1 each and sold in quantities of 2 for $2.00.
Parking:
I teach classes and workshops in 4 Atlanta locations:
• Dunwoody
in the side, front or rear of the building.
• Decatur
Aikido Decatur: does not charge for parking. Free side street parking
available if the parking lot is full.
• Buckhead: There is no charge for parking at the Binders Buckhead
location in the Disco Kroger Parking lot.
• Old Fourth Ward: The Ponce City market complex where Binders
is located charges for parking. You may pay for parking at parking
kiosks anywhere on the complex. I use smartphone app ParkMobile.
Sharing:
I love social media. It’s how many of us found each other, right?
I’ll be snapping pictures periodically of our time together in class
and sharing the experience with followers, so if you see yourself,
please feel free to tag yourself.
If you do not wish to be photographed, please tell me beforehand.
If you’d like to share the love of what you’re doing in my classes on social media,
use hashtag #madewithanne on Instagram and/or Facebook to keep us all connected.
Sniffing, Smiling, and Petting:
This is my dog Inga and I bring her to my classes and workshops when I can.
She will not jump up on you unless you slather yourself with bacon grease.
If you have an dog allergy or phobia, please let me know beforehand (now!)
so that everyone (this means you) is comfortable.
Keeping in Touch:
If you'd like to be on my mailing list beyond class, please
Subscribe to the Anne Elser Calligraphy mailing list.
The other thing I'd like you to know, is that I have a Facebook page up
called the The Atlanta Penablers. I started the group a few years ago
when Binders first began hosting calligraphy workshops from visiting
instructors from around the world. In the past we have had weekend
workshops with Barbara Calzolari, Heather Held, Peter Thornton,
Yves Letterme, and Bill Kemp, and more!
Checking in on the Penablers Facebook Page is easy and free
and it's a great way for us to stay connected on a more regular basis.
Here’s a link to the Calligraphy Spotify Playlist of the inspirational music I often play
while working and in my classes and workshops.
Calligraphy Suppliers & Links:
Below is where I go to get hard-to-find calligraphy supplies.
If you see something I’m using and it’s not at Binders, it’s here:
My favorite Pens:
If you’re looking for a hand-turned wooden oblique penholder,
there are several available at the two stores above.
My favorites are hand made by Heather Held and her husband Chris.
Chris turns them and Heather paints them.
Contact Heather if you’d like to commission one.

Thank you very much for signing up for a class or workshop with me. See you soon!
