We are so, so pleased to welcome back Carol DuBosch to teach Neuland!

This class will first explore NEULAND letters as a typeface to be drawn, cut, layered and outlined. With the understanding of the letter shapes that is gained by drawing, we will move on to work with a variation of NEULAND to be written with a broad edged pen, and a wood pen we will make in class. You will learn valuable techniques to use in your personal work as you play with this amazingly versatile script!
