Welcome &
Announcements:
**We welcomed 3 guests who also became new members! Nancy Johnson, Jan Cederberg, and Mariah
Olson.
**We will be making paper beads with Carole and Cheryl. Carole brought srips of different kinds of
paper for us to start collecting as well as examples to inspire us. She asked us to watch a 20 minute video
before coming next month. The link
should be found in the upcoming eDigest.
**Our featured exhibit at Commonwheel in August needs a
title! The Board will make a selection
from member suggestions sent in before the next Board meeting. We also need to have our own pieces numbered
and titled and given to Kathy by the end of July. She will need publicity photos to promote the
showing.
**Our next workshop will feature Sherrie Loveler and
“Painting Poetry”, a no lettering workshop creating marks and background
designs the weekend of June 23/24.
Cheryl will accept registrations checks after a postmarked date of May
15.
**Shelley Hitz will also offer a one day brush lettering
workshop on June 23.
Show & Share:
**Cecelia had a beautifully lettered name for a recent
addition to her sister’s family.
**TJ had 3 wedding versals inspired by Adolf Bernd.
**Cheryl showed us her doodle book she adds to while
watching TV!
Evening Presentation:
**Shelley gave us a brief introduction of how she became
proficient as a writing coach and an artist.
Her approach to brush lettering was very helpful showing incremental
steps. She used a variety of brush markers and even did some demonstrations
with Crayola bullet markers. Shelley explained the benefits of using smooth
paper as opposed to watercolor paper to preserve the tips of nicer brush
markers. All in all, it was a very
inspirational time.
