Evening Presentation:

**TJ introduced us to the A2 nib, gave a short history of the nib and it’s origin, and had handouts for examples and ideas.  She assessed each letter, drawing our attention to various parts of each letter, asked us to focus on the interior parts of the letters.  We were to pretend we were lettering artists from the 9140’s, hired by a local grocery store.  She wanted us to create a small showcard advertising produce of some kind.
