COURSE DESCRIPTION
From elegant and refined to vibrant and playful, Art Nouveau lettering offers an incredible range of moods. This flowing, versatile style inspired the counterculture artists of the 1960s and remains essential for anyone looking to create standout logos, ads, apparel, greeting cards, packaging, posters, or brand messaging. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll discover how to craft Art Nouveau and psychedelic letters that feel smart and sophisticated—or funky and full of flavor. Perfect for letterers, graphic artists, type designers, and illustrators of all skill levels who want to elevate their personal or professional projects.
We’ll begin by exploring how nature inspired the signature curves and details of Art Nouveau and its psychedelic offshoots. From there, you’ll learn how to construct and arrange letterforms, then customize serif and sans serif styles using simple yet powerful techniques to make them truly your own. Finally, you'll gain skills for drawing and composing dynamic, eye-catching layouts.
Sketch along and ask questions during engaging presentations and live drawing demos. Every participant will receive a FREE 40-page detailed PDF guidebook packed with helpful illustrations and design insights. Want to take your work even further?
