Lisa, would this be appropriate for a "beginner" letterer? I don't have a lettering style and I don't do any calligraphy, so I am worried that I'd be too far behind the rest of the class ??? And - just what is the class size limited to? Thanks so much!

Lisa, no need to reply, unless you want to reinforce my decision to go ahead and register for the workshop! Jenny told me how amazing you are, and so I signed up. If I am too much of a beginner, then heck, I'll get from the day what I'm meant to get from the day. :-) Looking forward to this! ~~ Davielle
