The Chalkboard Lettering Workshop (Tuesday, June 19, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., $30) will help participating booksellers hone their penmanship and lure customers into their bookstore with beautiful chalkboard art. New Orleans-based illustrator and chalk artist Ashlee Arceneaux Jones will lead booksellers in a fun and interactive three-hour workshop in which she will teach the fundamentals of making an eye-catching sign. Each workshop participant will be provided with chalk and a small chalkboard. Pre-registration is required for the class, and a handful of spots remain. Register now.
