About the Event
This course will run weekly from Tuesday 3rd October to 31st October.
Tutor: Vicky Daws
When she isn’t teaching for us, Vicky works creating signage and table plans for weddings, parties, restaurants and shops. Whether it’s on mirrors, chalkboards, wooden palettes or acrylic, she will share her experience and knowledge of lettering design, as well as the techniques and specific tools to use to transform everyday surfaces into stunning works of art.
Whether you're a novice or an experienced artist, this course will help you develop the techniques and confidence needed to produce beautiful hand-lettered signage, including table plan layouts and menus.
