Teens at the Pasadena Central Library had a wonderful time transforming their handwriting into artful drawings. \u00a0In a workshop led by local artist Alethea Allarey, participants learned the concept of handmade lettering. \u00a0They styled phrases, names, developed illustrative concepts to match its mood and tone, and created a fun font as a group.<\/p>\n

This workshop was held on Nov. 19, 2015 and Feb. 20, 2016 at Pasadena Central Library. Photos by Alethea Allarey.<\/p>\n
