Expect the Unexpected - the Amazing Folded Pen! with Lorraine Douglas Date: Friday, November 1, 2019 Time: 9:30 to 4 p.m. Location: Church of the Latter-day Saints 2210 Eastleigh Way, Sidney Cost: $70.00 for FCS members, $85.00 for non members Have you bought a folded pen and are not sure how to use it? Or want to learn a few new moves? Or have never met up with this fantastic tool before? Join this introduction to the possibilities of using a folded pen - a wonderful tool for creating lines, rough marks, blobs and splatters and more. Your folded pen (or a ruling pen) shows calligraphic energy and has a very contemporary look. This pen can create thick and thin marks depending on how you hold it and what angle you use. The workshop is a quick step by step introduction to how to get going with the tool and is designed for folded pen beginners but those with experience can enjoy a day of play with their pens and ink. Supplies: • A folded pen – if you are ordering your first folded pen – I recommend ordering from John Neal Books in the USA, the N30 folded pen designed by Matthew Coffin OR You can also use a ruling pen or ruling writer OR Lorraine is getting folded pen nibs from Peter Lax and will have them for sale at the workshop. You will need to bring a pen holder. Email Lorraine at [email protected] if you want a Peter nib. • Bottle of black Higgins Eternal Ink and masking tape to affix it to the table • Pad of calligraphy practice paper with no lines on it – 11 by 17 if possible, paper towels, pencil, 12 inch ruler, eraser, pencil sharpener, three or four sheets of plain newsprint to go under your paper for a cushion, gluestick, pointed watercolour brush, about size two or three, not an expensive one, water jar, plastic tray with wells in it for inks • Your lunch, a pillow to sit on. Mug for your tea -We can have non caffeine products at the Church and can have herbal tea breaks. Free parking…come around the back of the church for parking and use that doorway.
