Ease Into Script Lettering
with Ying Chang

Everyone loves script letterforms, but those curves and loops can seem so unreachable and intimidating! This course is designed to give newcomers a solid kickstart in script lettering as well as to serve those who already draw in script an opportunity to sharpen their knowledge, strengthen their foundation, and further their practice.

By taking the script letterforms apart and studying the system, the participants will gain the ability to construct their own lettering pieces with consistency and rhythm. We will start with an introductory lecture on type and hand-lettering, followed by the breakdowns and variables in script letterforms.

With structural demonstrations, students will learn how to draw script letters, explore different styles in script, and receive personal feedback on their works. At the end of the workshop, all attendees will have a solid understanding of the foundational aspects of script lettering and continue to draw with confidence.
