Nicole Santo's Brush Lettering Workshops

Designer Nicole Santo recently taught two lovely and inspiring lettering workshops at Fullosophie in San Francisco, CA: Brushstroke Lettering, and Watercolor Brush Lettering. There were even mimosa’s involved… we wish we could have been there!

Nicole used our 500 Series Marker pads for the workshops, which we thought was an interesting and unique use for that paper. Nicole’s students use paper guidelines and need to be able to see through the sheet which is why the Marker paper worked well. It is a semi-transparent, 100% cotton sheet that is lightweight at 13.5lb. (50gsm). Students used black india ink, gold gouache and watercolors during the class, and the results were beautiful!

Nicole believes there is beauty in your handwriting and everyone has their own unique voice. In her classes, she teaches starting with the basics and working off the handwriting that each individual already possesses.
