Neuland Anniversary Ambassador Tour - 3 Ambassadors, 5 Workshops AND 3 YouTube Live Sessions
Kelvy Bird, Heather Martinez, and Brandy Agerbeck are traveling to Europe to offer five workshops. Join us!
But before that, you can also meet her live on our YouTube channel.
I'm not sure if they actually fly in from America sitting on a marker, but at least they have so many markers with them to show you what's possible with them.
All three are not only ambassadors for our products in the USA, but also true pioneers in their field.
Over the next few months, they will be showcasing their expertise here in Europe, and you can be a part of it. You can find all the information here: https://www.neuland.com
All workshops are held in English. Before you cringe and think, "Oh no, I'll never manage that!", I strongly encourage you to register anyway. All three automatically slow down their speaking speed upon landing in Europe and also use almost exclusively visual elements in their workshops, making it very easy for you to understand them.
What I find particularly appealing about these workshops is the fact that you can learn together with other participants from Europe and indeed from all over the world. That's really amazing, isn't it?
Meet Brandy, Kelvy, and Heather in our live sessions! For free, but definitely not without value.
If you're still undecided, here are three delicious appetizers for you. Each will present a special learning snack showcasing their expertise in a live session.
Ask your questions and bring along some small learning snacks for your work.
Meet Brandy, Kelvy, Heather, and our social media correspondent Sandra Dirks live in our new live short workshop format. They'll share their tips, and Sandra will moderate these live sessions. Join us, use the chat, and draw along!
The live sessions will be held in English!
The live sessions are recorded and will then be available on our Facebook page and our YouTube channel, in case you can't make it live.

Neuland Anniversary Ambassador Tour Talk: Brandy Agerbeck – The Draw Quad
The Draw Quad: Draw, see, think, show, and do
Brandy designed this model to help people broaden their definition of "drawing" so they can recognize the different facets and have more confidence in their own drawings.
This allows for a much more relaxed and freer view of the topic of drawing.
Later, Brandy will present "The Trio," an idea from her book "The Idea Shapers" about the use and application of colors.

Visual Practice Workshop with Kelvy Bird from July 25th (evening) – July 28th, 2018 in Rungstedgaard (Denmark)
Meet Kelvy in our YouTube Live Session on May 16, 2018 – 6:00 PM
Neuland Anniversary Ambassador Tour Talk: Kelvy Bird – Levels of Scribing – An Overview
Levels of Scribing : An Overview
Kelvy will provide a framework, a structure for "scribing," for sharing notes.
The levels of scribing we will examine include:
1) Mirror, 2) Differentiate, 3) Connect, 4) Surface.
Each level has its value and its place.
When we expand our ability to listen in order to engage with the unknown, we shift from representing what we literally hear to representing what we can feel.
In this online session, participants will learn about different levels of scribing that are applicable to all types of clients and communities.
We use the time to learn the basic framework, do a practical exercise, see examples at each level, and expand our knowledge through questions and answers.

Neuland Anniversary Ambassador Tour Talk with Heather Martinez – Are you a lettering addict?
Are you a lettering addict? Not yet?
Did you know that Heather has adapted sign painter and calligrapher styles for use with markers? This makes it easier for graphic recorders, presenters, and trainers to create these fonts with their preferred markers.
On her website http://www.letslettertogether.com/ you can find the free course “Unlock your Neuland-Markers”, where she demonstrates four lettering styles with four different markers.
So grab your markers! And join us for this short live session. Heather will explain how to add serifs to almost any lettering style using each of the different Neuland marker nibs.
Heather will also give us a brief overview of the workshops she is offering at EuViz 2018.
