- Member Rebecca Wild writes: "I just wanted to let you know that
I am teaching an exciting workshop at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology
on June 26-28. Of all the classes that I teach I think that this is
my best. I love the sequence of the projects, the energy and the opportunity
to expose others to the artwork of Paul Klee. The results are always
stunning." See the announcment & flyer in the News section for more
details.

Brush Calligraphy with Carol DuBoschThe lively character and contemporary look of Pointed Brush letters make them enjoyable to write and give this script practical and creative use. This workshop will introduce students to the potential of the pointed brush as a calligraphic tool. Beginning with a study of a basic script based upon Italic pen letters, students will then move on to experiment with in- creasingly free variations. Consideration will be given to creative applications as original work, reproduced work and layout possibilities.
