Sketch to Sign: 3D Lettering with Noel Weber

Join legendary sign maker Noel B. Weber for a 4-hour, hands-on workshop on turning sketches into finished, sellable art. Using pre-cast 3D resin panel monograms (9″ x 7″) designed by Noel and pre-mixed acrylics (both provided), students will paint their own panels while learning Noel’s approach to lettering across multiple mediums—from gilded glass and flat panels to fabric prints and large murals. He’ll share his sketching process, show start-to-finish examples and explain when to work “old school” versus using modern tools. By the end, you’ll know how to develop a sketch into a fully realized piece with clear lettering, textures and color and leave with your very own custom 3D monogram sign.
