Lettering with the Masters :: Kelvy Bird, October
This year-long lettering journey is inspired by a different master each month. With a sneak-peek into their studios and practices, we will have the opportunity to learn how those working as visual practitioners, calligraphers, and graffiti artists use the same tools we use—and introduce us to new ones—to make letters. So grab your markers and let’s go!
October MASTER

She lives in Somerville, Massachusetts.
NOTE: THIS IS A SINGLE SESSION
In this ~1 hour session, Kelvy talks about those who influenced her lettering style, how Presencing has inspired the "Social Art of Scribing", letting the essence of lettering compliment her gestural marks, and the tools she uses.
Kelvy generously closes the session with these inspiring words:
Be sure to have the following supplies on hand:
• Plenty of paper
