Monoline Lettering with a ‘B’ Nib

Description

Monoline lettering is a great way to learn new styles of lettering and to delve in to the principles of lettering, layout, and design, without the added challenge of working with complicated tools. In this class, learn several styles of monoline lettering that use ‘B’ nibs including the Art Nouveau lettering of Rennie Mackintosh, Typewriter Inspired Lettering, and an original style of extended capital letters called Tall Grasses. We work in different nib sizes in order to get familiar with the whole set of nibs. By the end of this workshop you will be quite comfortable with writing with the Speedball ‘B’ nib! Monoline Lettering Techniques is an ideal companion workshop to this one.
