Have you been intrigued by beautiful hand lettering seen at special events, on products, or online? Curious to give it a try, but nervous because your regular handwriting is lacking? Then this class is for you! You do NOT have to have perfect handwriting in order to learn modern calligraphy using a pointed (dip) pen and ink. Modern calligraphy is more about drawing letters as opposed to writing them. You will learn the basics of modern calligraphy including how to use a pointed pen, letter formation, basic strokes, and how to connect letters into words and phrases. Previous experience is not necessary and all levels are welcome. Materials are yours to keep and are approximately $10-$15; fee to be paid to the instructor at class.
