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. In this two part workshop, you will learn the basics of pointed pen (dip pen) modern calligraphy including: how to assemble, care for, and use a pointed pen, basic strokes, letter formation, and how to connect letters into words. You will also use your newfound skills to create seasonal projects. You will also have the opportunity to photograph one of your practice sheets, email it to the instructor, and receive specific feedback. Previous experience is not necessary and all levels are welcome.
