Are you passionate about flourishes too?
In calligraphy, lettering or brushlettering, flourishes can be amazing and emphasize even more the letters they surround. But sometimes you get frustrated creating them. Properly arranged flourishes are able to enhance the message of the letters.
You need to practice, but…
If you want to learn more about flourishes, practicing is of course an important part of it. In this workshop you will learn, how to practice the right way to really improve your flourishes.
There is also a system behind the structure of well placed curved strokes. Certain rules and principles you can learn to have more clarity about good and bad solutions in flourished artworks.

From your homeoffice
The Flourish Workshop you can attend via Zoom. You will get the material by mail before the workshop, so you don’t need to prepare anything in particular. As tools i recommend just a pencil, a ruler and a rubber. If you prefer to work rather with a brushpen (small) or a nib, that’s ok too.
