Introduction to Modern Calligraphy Using Brush Pens

  • Concord Carlisle Adult and Community Education 500 Walden Street Concord, MA, 01742 United States (map)

Have you been intrigued by the influx of beautiful hand lettering seen at special events, on restaurant chalkboards, or online? Curious to give it a try but think that you can’t 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 brush lettering. Brush lettering is more about drawing letters rather than writing them. In this 2.5 hour workshop, you will learn the basics of brush lettering including:

  • How to do faux calligraphy with any type of writing tool

  • How to hold a brush pen in order to get contrasting thick/thin lines

  • Differences between brush pens

  • Practice drills

  • Letter formation

  • How to connect letters into words and phrases

  • Use your newfound skills on several calligraphy projects
