New Classes at Sam Flax: Flax Academy

Friends! Sam Flax has built a classroom just for us. The classes they're teaching are part of their new Flax Academy. I'll begin teaching there on Monday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 - 7:30PM. Here are two new classes starting in June. Sign up or spread the word if you can!

Italic Calligraphy Class WhenMon, June 15, 5:30pm – 7:30pm WhereSam Flax Atlanta (map) DescriptionThe Italic calligraphic hand is one of the most widely used and versatile alphabets around. It is highly legible and can be transformed (dressed up or down) with ease. A wonderful hand to learn for the beginning calligrapher yet versatile enough to experiment with for the advanced. We will spend 6 weeks learning the Italic hand. Students will be given handouts and guide sheets. We will also address spacing and layout for addressing envelopes. Calligraphy is less about pretty handwriting, but more about DRAWING each and every letter. Its about establishing a pacing and rhythmic motion as you write - giving you a consistency of shapes and letters, and spaces in between words and lines. It is highly relaxing and meditative. Like yoga for the hands. Instructor:Anne Elser Supplies Needed:Click here to download a supply list Price:$140 per person *This class meets once a week for 6 weeks* Register Now to Reserve Your Seat

Book & Box

DescriptionWe will be making books and boxes in this class with a variety of materials and techniques. The objective here is to give you a fundamental understanding of how books are made - a backbone of knowledge so you can create your own books and journals.

There will be an emphasis on neatness and craft and most of all FUN. Making books is a very rewarding experience. They make wonderful gifts, sketchbooks for yourself and journals, photo albums, etc. The only skills required are a love of paper, attention to detail, patience and again - a need to have FUN!
