The theme for our November doodle session is MESSY LETTERS! We’ll chat about why messy letters matter and what makes them fun as well as practice making some messy letters together!
Christy Batta is our featured letterer for the month. She is a graphic designer and hand letterer living with multiple sclerosis (MS). In her design business, her mission is to help nonprofits and do-gooder businesses make the right impressions on the right people through design. You can learn more about her graphic design work at heybattabatta.com. She is also the co-founder of the Unofficial Hand Lettering Society of Silver Spring and makes hand lettering about her chronic illness experience through Human + Kind Co. Lettering.
F.A.Q.:
WHAT SHOULD I BRING? Bring your favorite doodle supplies [paper + pens + paints + etc]. We will also have some paper on hand as well as our PEN SWAP BOX for you to test out different style pens for your drawings.
WHAT IS THIS? The Unofficial Hand Lettering Society of Silver Spring is a free monthly gathering for hand lettering enthusiasts to letter in community. Every month has a theme to jog the creative juices, but we would never dare limit your creativity to the theme! Come make new friends, swap pen and paper secrets, and meet other creatives in your community. Please note this is not a directed workshop but a space to explore together. People are always happy to give pointers and share tips, but this is not a hand lettering workshop.
HOW CAN I GIVE BACK? Support the society by getting more involved! Join our mailing list for updates. Follow @SSLetters on Twitter + Instagram, and don't forget to use #SSLETTERS to share your lettering even between meetings & brag on your letters! We'll repost your work on our channels, too. You can also help keep our hand lettering community alive with a donation today! Funds go towards putting on our community projects and providing materials at meetings. The Unofficial Hand Lettering Society is a completely volunteer based organization because we love our community, and we are so grateful for your support!
