Beginners Calligraphy
During this introduction to calligraphy, learn all the basics of pointed pen calligraphy in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere. We will focus on the lowercase alphabet and I will provide you with all the supplies you'll need to continue your studies at home. Students will receive a helpful set of instructional handouts for this three hour class.
Each student will receive:
Oblique pen holder
Nibs

Intermediate Calligraphy
In this mid level level class, we will focus on writing capital letters. We will also have fun experimenting with colored and metallic inks. Plus, you will leave with the materials needed to take your calligraphy off the practice sheets and on to a useful project!
Some prior calligraphy experience recommended. Please bring the materials you received at the introduction class. If you took calligraphy elsewhere, a suggested materials list can be provided.
Each student will receive:
• Practice paper
• Colored ink
• Metallic ink
• Dropper
• Nibs

Brush Lettering
This class will be an afternoon of colorful fun as we learn calligraphy letterforms with brush markers and watercolors! No experience is required and all materials will be provided. You will be able to take all your materials home with you to continue your practice! This class is also perfect for students with prior calligraphy experience, but would like to learn how to use a different medium for their lettering.
Each student will receive:
Exemplar and guidelines
Practice paper
2 brush markers
1 aqua brush
1 set of watercolors
Washi tape
