Letter along with Mike!

The pointed brush is a great tool to explore both traditional and non-traditional lettering and has applications for both commercial and fine art. Thanks to the mini-session held back in November 2025 and to build on Mike's presentation, we are offering two, 3-hour sessions in March 2026.

We will dive deeper into both synthetic and natural hair brushes, with exercises that demonstrate the many possibilities for brush lettering.

Brush aside the chores and join us for this free-flowing workshop!

Who this session is for:

The workshop is designed for lettering artists, calligraphers, and designers who are using or want to use brush lettering in their work. This is not a beginner-level workshop, so it will help to have some lettering experience and basic understanding of the fundamentals.

Supply list will follow.

Come for the brush, stay for the giveaways!

About Mike

Mike Gold worked as a commercial lettering designer for over 35 years, mostly in the social expressions business. But his real passion is exploring the corridors of calligraphy that have been less traveled, the path where words and letters are design elements with which to play with line, shape and form, where creating a visual statement is more important than writing a readable text. In both his professional and personal art, Mike breaks traditional rules to create contemporary, non-traditional work.

Mike has an M.A. in Visual Communications and has studied with many outstanding lettering and design masters over the years. Mike has taught around the country and at several international calligraphy conferences. His personal work has been featured in Letter Arts Review many times over the past 25-plus years. He has been a juror for the Letter Arts Review annual and his work is in many private collections, including the Berlin Calligraphy Archive. He is the author of Lines to Live By (available through John Neal, Bookseller), which is Mike's take on being a non-traditional calligrapher in the 21st century.
