My new Skillshare Class

I'm really excited to release my new online class 'The Golden Secrets of Lettering' on Skillshare.  It's rewarding to be able to share my skills and reach students across the globe where I mostly find hard to go with my workshops.

The concept of this class is based on my Letter Collections  project where I design and send postcards around the globe and will share my making of process with you. Together, we will go through the assignment of creating a piece of lettering for the perfect postcard: from concept, to sketch to digitisation, including tips to add texture and color to your final work.

In this class we will start by training our ‘typographic eye’ by looking at examples of typographic pieces that surround us. I'll show you some theoretical principles to understand the structure of letter shapes and I'll share with you the technique I use to sketch and achieve more extreme, personal and interesting results.

This class is suitable for beginners as well as for those with previous experience who want to go a step forward into the art of lettering and expand their set of creative skills. You'll walk away from this class with a sharper eye when working with typography and essential and practical tools to draw lettering and to guide your own improvement afterwards. After this class, you will see typography in a completely different way.

Watch the trailer and enroll in the class here.

This makes my online classes available in two languages: English (at Skillshare) and Spanish (at Domestika.org). What's next? A class in german language perhaps?

Teaching lettering in Spanish

martinaflor-teaching

In the last few days I've been shooting my upcoming online lettering course with Domestika team and it's been such a wonderful and fun experience!. We shot in my studio and went around the city to discover vernacular lettering. Additionally, we had the chance to shoot at Buchstabenmuseum, an unique place in Berlin. We believe this will be an unique and fantastic lettering course!

The classes will be in Spanish and will be available online starting December 9th, 2014.  I'm very excited to be able to reach students and professionals from spanish speaking countries and overseas, places where I can hardly take my workshops to. Surprisingly, it's pretty rare for me to teach in my native language and I look forward to meet them online and share my skills. ¡Nos vemos amigos!

London report

What an amazing time I had in London last week. Besides going around the city I was at Pick me Up London Illustration Fair, where in Handsome Frank’s Room I personalised Moleskines for the visitors with handmade lettering. Lots of happy faces left the room with their new customised notebook. Also, I got to talk, drink and dance with a bunch of talented illustrators: Leslie Barnes, Stuart WhittonSarah Tanat JonesElsie Lam, Matt Saunders and Paul Blow. Will definitely go there more often!
