Hello! *Sally Penley is offering her Background Blitz workshop on Saturday, September 28 from 9:00am-4:00pm. This is an amazing 7-hour class, where participants learn various hands-on techniques for creating backgrounds that can stand alone as works of art, but work beautifully with lettering or artwork layered on top. Each student will choose several techniques to experiment with, and will take home a booklet covering all 12 techniques, as well as a goody bag full of more art toys to experiment with. *View some of Penley's artwork here<http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-sally-penley.html> . Cost for Tacoma Calligraphy Guild <http://tacomacalligraphyguild.com/>members is $55, or $65 for non-members. This includes Sally's supply fee. *There is very limited space still available, so e-mail TacomaCalligraphyGuild@gmail.com or call Terri at 253-272-8335 to reserve your spot!* Once registered, you will be sent the supply list.
