On March 14, 2015 the Society for Calligraphy & Handwriting (SCH) will be sponsoring the workshop, “Background Blitz: Tips, Tools and Techniques for Painting Paper with Sally Penley” in Renton, WA.

Sally Penley BackgroundIn this 7-hour workshop, participants will learn various techniques for painting or covering papers to create backgrounds for their calligraphy—or to create painted papers as standalone masterpieces!

Participants will explore several techniques from a selection of twelve. Sally will focus on a few of the techniques for demonstrations (e.g., paste paper, acrylic glazes, foam brush techniques), but will rapidly cover all the other techniques listed in a small how-to booklet given to each participant.

The instruction booklet will allow participants to experiment with the other techniques at their leisure after the workshop. In addition to the booklet, participants will also receive a “goody bag” of tools and a blank book to fill with their “Blitz” experiments.

All skill levels welcome. Class size is limited to 15.
