Calliarts - Monograms - Saturday 12 May 2018

Dear Members and Followers,

Feeling creative? Then channel your calligraphic talents in another direction and create some monograms, for you, the family and friends.

A monogram is a combination of two or more letters, in which one letter forms part of another and cannot be separated from the whole image. Monograms are used for ornamentation as a mark of ownership by a private person, Company or as a Trade Mark. A monogram is a very useful for identifying your hand made articles such as book plates, bookmarks, cards etc. The Calliart workshop will cover how to incorporate Initials into a pleasing design using different techniques giving a clear image that can be reduced to small scale without losing clarity.
