Thomas Hoyer ruled Edmonton


Thomas Hoyer is a graphic artist calligrapher from Germany who spent about a month teaching in Alberta.
The Edmonton Calligraphic Society http://www.edmontoncalligraphicsociety.org had him teach Flourishing, Beautiful Watercolor Letters and two full days of Ruling Pens Beyond the Rules.
Super nice guy who generously allowed us to use all of his handouts and in-class demowork for our newsletter.
He likes to use the Haff ruling pen with Ecoline liquid watercolours.
These are all samples he whipped off!
He wrote each of our names up and here's a picture of him with a piece he did for us to raffle at the June Social.
I LOVE THE RULING PEN! ... and Thomas! Check out his site; he creates lettering for wedding bands, logos, tatoos, walls, objects, even carves letters. http://www.callitype.de/en/index.html
