Get hands on with brush lettering in this interactive workshop.

Thaksala Haylock (@inkyandthebears) will lead this brush lettering workshop. This will be an opportunity to learn the skills of brush lettering using a paintbrush and ink, and how to use these for future projects, or lettering your favourite book quote.
