CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS - Calligraphic Dirds

These little quirky ‘Calligraphic Dirds’ were developed by Suzie Beringer as another way in which she could use her lettering skills …BUT….they are so much fun to make whether you are a lettering artist or not. No calligraphic experience is required to create these fun and sassy little dirds.

Suzie will walk you through some basic lettering concepts and ideas as well as creating flapping wings, dirds on springs, dirds in song, etc…. There are many ways to display them which is part of the fun….the possibilities are endless! They make great gifts and are guaranteed to put a smile on someones face.

In this workshop you will be shown how to make these unique on-of-a-kind dirds while you express your own artistic voice.

Suzie will bring many samples of what she has done over the years. You will walk away with your own small flock of dirds. Suzie will provide all of the supplies. However, if you have a pair of scissors please bring them along but if not Suzie has you covered!
