Conference Agenda

Do you want your pen-and-ink drawings to look like the good ones?  Pen and ink is all basically a matter of skill and technique, which can be easily taught, and the results can be done faster, cheaper, and are considerably more attractive than the black-and-white illustrations done on computer.  Workshop participants will learn about materials and techniques, page design and layout, maps, lettering, scientific illustration conventions, problems posed by different kinds of artifacts, working size, reproduction concerns, ethics, and dealing with authors and publishers.  A reading list and pen and paper (tracing vellum) will be provided, but feel free to bring you own pens, tools, books and, of course, questions.  Be ready to work!
